Waterborne Epoxy Resins Are an Integral Part of the Growing End-Use IndustryPosted by coherent market insights on December 31st, 2020 Waterborne resins use water as the carrying medium as opposed to solvent or solvent-less. Waterborne resins are used in the production of composite materials, elastomers, sealants, adhesives, and coatings. The resin could be water dispersed, water reducible, or water-soluble. Waterborne epoxy resins are widely used due to their low volatile organic compound emission. These resins are used in many applications such as composites, coatings, adhesives, etc. Moreover, they provide a high degree of compatibility and have the capacity to get formulated with additives, co-solvents, and wetting agents to achieve formulations for superior adhesion to substrate high cure corrosion resistance. Waterborne epoxy resin generally consists of an epoxy resin and a curing agent. Both the epoxy resin and the curing agent can be made waterborne. Waterborne epoxy resins have many applications. It is used as sealants and adhesives in a wide range of processes such as automotive maintenance, building construction, automotive parts manufacturing, chemical engineering, healthcare, food processing, pulp and lube industry, automotive detailing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetic manufacturing, petrochemical plants, petroleum refining, and other oil and gas production and distribution. The epoxy resin has its importance in various constructional areas and other concrete products. It can be used to repair, reconstruct, and to protect concrete structures from external harm and weathering. Like it? Share it! More by this author |
