Epoxy Resin Adhesives

  • Chapter
Handbook of Adhesives

Abstract

Structural adhesives based on epoxy resins were first introduced in 1950 and their use has grown steadily since. Epoxy resins are reactive with a number of different curing agents and yield a wide variety of products with different cure requirements and end-use performance. Epoxy resins cure with no evolution of byproducts, have low shrinkage and adhere to many different substrates. Although epoxy adhesives represent only a small part of the total adhesives market, they are unequalled in performance where high strength and endurance properties are critical.
