China Glue Network shares why epoxy resin is called “versatile glue“
Epoxy resin refers to a general term for compounds that contain two or more epoxy groups in their molecules and can form a three-dimensional cross-linked structure in the presence of appropriate chemical additives such as curing agents.
It is a thermosetting resin with good bonding performance, corrosion resistance, high electrical insulation performance, and mechanical strength. It has many excellent properties and has a good bonding effect on both metals and non metals, so epoxy resin is known as the “versatile adhesive“.
Because epoxy resin has strong adhesive properties, it can bond many different materials such as metals, ceramics, plastics, wood, etc. At the same time, it also has good heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength, and can be used in various harsh environments.
In addition, the curing process of epoxy resin can be controlled by adjusting the type and amount of curing agent to meet different bonding requirements. Therefore, epoxy resin is widely used in various fields such as aerospace, electronics, automotive, construction, etc., and is known as the “universal adhesive”
However, it should be noted that when using epoxy resin for bonding, the appropriate bonding process and curing conditions need to be selected according to the specific situation to ensure the best bonding effect. Meanwhile, it is also necessary to pay attention to safe use and avoid contact with the skin and inhalation of harmful gases.
