What Makes Epoxy Coatings So Durable?

henry gerstel • August 28, 2018

Epoxy resin  is used as an adhesive binder for countertops or floors. The myriad of uses for epoxy continues to expand, and variants of epoxies are constantly being developed to fit the industry and product demands. The term epoxy has been widely adapted for many uses beyond fiber reinforced polymer composites. Today, epoxy adhesives are sold in local hardware stores and worldwide!

Advantages:

  • Adhesive Properties
  • Non-Slip Coatings
  • Decorative Finishes
  • Industrial-Grade Coating

Epoxy resin coatings  are a thermosetting building material, meaning it’s cure time may vary depending on the surrounding temperature. Once epoxy  has cured, it cannot be uncured, which is why this material is extremely susceptible to reactions with other chemicals. Our  epoxy resins  contain curing or “hardening” agent that cures into a strong bonding adhesive. This durable and decorative epoxy coating is used in a multitude of settings including residential, commercial and industrial environments.

General Purposes:

  • Helps prevent corrosion.
  • Add decoration, character and style.
  • Structural and engineering adhesive purposes.
