Peerless Epigen - Epoxy Resins
Epoxy resins, also known as epoxide resins, are a class of polymers, containing reactive groups which are converted to thermoset resins by reaction with compounds known as curing agents. It is the choice of curing agent which generally exerts the most influence on the final properties of the cured product. The term "epoxy resin" is used throughout this bulletin to represent the full epoxy system.
The first epoxide resins were synthesised in 1930 from work in Switzerland/U.S.A. Commercial production commenced in the late 1940`s and by the 70`s over twenty five types of resins were available, all carrying the generic term of "epoxy resin" and current production internationally exceeds hundred of thousands of tonnes.
