Chemistry of Epoxy Coatings
Epoxy coatings are primarily based on epoxy resins, which contain reactive epoxide groups, and curing agents (hardeners) that facilitate crosslinking. The most common types of epoxy resins include: Bisphenol A-Based Epoxies: The most widely used class, offering excellent mechanical strength, adhesion, and chemical resistance. Bisphenol F-Based Epoxies: Provide lower viscosity and improved chemical resistance, often…
