In the vast majority of epoxy systems the process results in yellowing. The duration of yellowing and the amount of yellowing vary according to the preferred epoxy type. Resinin Slim Extra, Resinin Slim Vis, Resinin Slim Super and Resinin Mass are among the best resins produced in this direction. The main factor that causes yellowing …
In cases where you want to make layered casting, you should wait for the underlying layer to cure for a while. After the first drying and touch drying time, the second layer can be applied. This time varies according to the epoxy type and ambient temperature. The best method of determining the time is to …
Epoxy systems have different heat resistance varying according to their types. These resistors vary from 50 C to 170 C according to the properties of the products. You can see the heat resistance of the product you choose by looking at its properties. In order for epoxy systems to have full mechanical and chemical properties, …
Drying and hardening do not occur unless epoxy resins and epoxy hardeners, which are components in epoxy systems, are mixed with each other. Products stored in closed packages in accordance with the storage conditions can wait without losing their properties. In case of hardeners waiting in their packaging for a long time, yellowing may occur. …
What is the shelf life? How long can epoxy wait in the bottle? Read More »
There are basically two types of internal air bubbles in epoxy systems. The first are bubbles caused by the air entering the system during mixing. The other is the bubbles caused by the gas formed during the reaction of the resin and hardener. Apart from internal reasons, the physical conditions and chemical effects of other …
Epoxy systems are systems that dry by the combination reaction of epoxy resin and epoxy hardener. In order for this reaction to start, the resin and hardener must come together and this meeting initiates the reaction process. The homogeneous mixing of the products with each other successfully terminates the process and the epoxy drying occurs. …
Parts of the epoxy hardened, parts still liquid. Read More »
In epoxy systems, drying takes place in two different ways between coating types and casting types. In coating type epoxy systems, the drying reaction begins and ends homogeneously. In casting types, on the other hand, drying starts locally and ends homogeneously. In other words, in an epoxy casting application of equal thickness, drying starts in …
In order for epoxy systems to harden, the resin and the hardener must go into chemical reaction. Mixing is an important step in using epoxy. In order for the chemical reaction to take place smoothly, the resin and hardener must be homogeneously dispersed in the mixture. This situation depends on good mixing. In mixtures that …
