What is cycloaliphatic epoxy resin?

What is cycloaliphatic epoxy resin?

Cycloaliphatic epoxy resins are an attractive alternative to standard bisphenol epoxies (DGEBA & DGEBF) because they have superior resistance to moisture and UV, better color and gloss stability (no yellowing), excellent electrical properties, and a higher heat deflection temperature.

What are the properties of epoxy resin?

Key Properties of Epoxy Resins

• High strength.
• Low Shrinkage.
• Excellent adhesion to various substrates.
• Effective electrical insulation.
• Chemical and solvent resistance, and.
• Low cost and low toxicity.

What is cycloaliphatic?

Cycloaliphatic refers to an aliphatic hydrocarbon or compound that contains a ring structure but not a benzene ring, i.e. a non-aromatic-like cyclobutane. A non-aromatic hydrocarbon is cyclic and not as stable as an alicyclic one in nature. Cycloaliphatic compounds include cyclopropane, methylcyclohexane and heptalene.

What are the properties of resin?

Properties of Resins

• These are transparent or translucent solid or semisolid in nature.
• The specific gravity of resins is more than water.
• They generally become soft on heating.
• Resins generally occur in an amorphous state.
• These are generally insoluble in water.

What is epoxy novolac resin?

An epoxy phenol novolac (EPN) is an epoxy resin where the epoxide functional group is attached to the phenolic oxygen of a phenolic novolac. When cured to make an epoxy coating or adhesive, the multi-functionality allows for a high degree of cross-linking, leading to high resistances.

What are the different types of resin?

Types of Resins and Their Uses

• Polyester Resins. Polyester resins are formed from the reaction of dibasic organic acids and polyhydric alcohols.
• Phenolic Resins. Phenolic resins are a type of thermosetting resin.
• Alkyd Resins.
• Polycarbonate Resins.
• Polyamide Resins.
• Polyurethane Resins.
• Silicone Resins.
• Epoxy Resins.

What is the difference between epoxy paint and epoxy resin?

The main difference between epoxy paint and normal paint is that when epoxy is present, the paint will adhere to the concrete surface much better, making it more durable. Without epoxy, a standard acrylic paint will eventually peel and flake, especially in high-traffic areas.
