Epoxy resin (E06، E01)

Epoxy resin

Resin is one of the most important raw materials for various appliances. Most of the things that we use on a daily basis are based on epoxy resin. In fact, these products have different types and each of them has different uses.

Epoxy is actually a thermoset polymer that if combined with hardeners and reacts, epoxy resin is formed. In the production of this product, two types of hardeners called polyamine and polyamide are used.

According to which epoxy resin is combined with which hardener, its application will also be different; For example, if epoxy resin is combined with polyamine, it is used to make decorative resin accessories or in laboratories, and if the product is combined with polyamide hardener, epoxy is used in the paint industry.

Epoxy resin is a completely transparent and yellow product that has no smell. It is placed in the category of petroleum products, which has two types, and we can refer to E6 and E1 epoxy resin.

E6 epoxy resins are also known as wood epoxy resins, and their characteristics include very high resistance to acidic materials, good electrical insulation, and high adhesion to surfaces.

This resin is often used in the production of industrial and hospital flooring, which has good strength and durability and long life; It is also used in the production of adhesives because it has a filling property and can fill the holes in the seams well and stick to the desired surface with its high adhesive strength.

This product does not dissolve in water and dissolves in chemicals such as alcohol and primers; It can also withstand very high heat well; Therefore, its tensile strength is high and it shows good resistance in alkaline environments.

E1 epoxy resin is a viscous liquid that is widely used in the paint and resin industry. This product is often used to make chemical paints and surface coatings. Epoxy paints have high durability that can be used in industrial environments or even laboratories.

This product has the ability to dissolve in xylene, and when a very durable coating is needed, the combination of epoxy resin in xylene is used.

Most of the colors that use epoxy resin in their production will have faster adhesion; Because this substance can quickly collect pigment particles and pigments and as a result create a suitable and transparent coating.

Epoxy resin is often used as a main factor in the production of thermoplastic polymer adhesives. In fact, these adhesives can have good stability against different environmental conditions as well as acid and base chemicals.

These adhesives show a high resistance against cracking, and the more the resin in it, the greater the adhesive ability of the adhesive, and as a result, cracking will not be possible.

The paint and thinner industries are among the most important industries that use epoxy resin. These resins actually help to dilute the colors and give the right concentration to the color.

Thinners are composed of various compounds and epoxy resin is one of the important compounds used in their production, which can give properties such as high solubility power and high evaporation rate to the produced thinner.

This product is often imported and enters the country through Korea, but it is necessary to know that epoxy resins are among the domestic products of Khuzestan Petrochemicals, which are of good quality.
