What is the difference between small volume resin and large volume resin?

Epoxy resins are systems that dry with exothermic reaction typing. This type of reaction is defined as the generation of heat in the system and the heat produced by the system is variable. These variables are; product types, application thickness and differences in ambient temperatures can be defined in general terms.

When talking about resins with large volumes, the expression that is intended to be stated includes resins that can be poured thicker than 2 cm, based on the thickness to be applied. If it is intended to be stated in the expression of small volume, it includes epoxy resins with a casting thickness of up to 2 cm. While determining the volume expression, all environmental conditions were accepted as constant and the naming was made by emphasizing the application thickness.

One of the other variables in the reaction process of epoxy systems, the change in ambient temperature and the shrinkage in the pouring volume will cause direct changes on the thickness. In such cases, in order to determine the most appropriate thickness of use, you will need to make a few different tests according to your environment conditions and casting volume, and determine the optimum casting level and which type of resin you should use.
