One aim of our work was to examine phase separation and stratification phenomenon as a function of - Molar mass of epoxy resins; - Type of epoxy resins of similar molar mass but from different producers; and - Type of acrylic resins.
INTRODUCTION Although epoxy resins have been accepted in a variety of major industrial applications, the conventional epoxy systems have one main drawback: the considerable brittleness shows poor fracture toughness (1), poor resistance to crack propagation, and low impact strength.
com Resins offered: acrylic resins, acrylic-styrene emulsions, alkyd resins, crosslinking resins, epoxy hardeners, epoxy resins, high-solid resins, hydrocarbon resins, maleic resins, polyamide resins, polyester resins, rosin esters, urethane/polyurethane resins Attributes/comments: Andes Chemical is an exporter of raw materials for the paint, ink, adhesive, construction and masonry additives, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and personal care industries in to the Caribbean, Central and South America.
