Epoxy groups as crosslinked building blocks

An overview of epoxy resins and hardeners Epoxy groups as crosslinked building blocks - These are so many resins available that can contain epoxy groups that it is really necessary to classify the epoxy products that available on the market. ISO 3673-1:1999 classifies these epoxy resins by their chemical structure and possible additives, and then further divides them within those categories into their specific types, i.e. aliphatic, aromatic and nitrogen-containing compounds. The glycidyl ethers and esters and the epoxy groups synthesised by the Prilezhaev reaction can therefore be considered derivatives of olefinic compounds. ISO 4597-1:2010-01 classifies hardeners for epoxy resins and distinguishes between those which are able to react with...

The use of Epoxy Coatings

Hardly any class of resins is more widely used in the coatings industry than that of epoxides which are used for epoxy coatings. Therefore, anyone who works with coatings needs a good overview of this topic. The guide "Epoxy Resins - Fundamentals and Applications" by M. Dornbusch, U. Christ, R. Rasing: Epoxy Resins looks in great detail at the aspect of coating agents and how they are used in industry. It considers the general use of epoxy resins and phenoxy resins within industry and explores the state of the art techniques regarding the use made of epoxy resins in industrial areas such as corrosion protection, floor paint, powder coatings,...
