The use of Epoxy Coatings

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, can and coil coatings. It also considers sample coating formulations and discusses the property profiles of the resulting coating surfaces. Below are summaries of each of the topics covered in the guide. To discuss the suitability of Epoxy Resin Paint for your particular requirements, please feel free to get in touch with Regal Paints on 01782 550733 to discuss with our technical team.
