Epoxy adhesives and coatings are a thermosetting epoxide polymer that cures when mixed with a catalyzing agent or hardner.
Epoxy coatings are widely used as primers to improve the adhesion on metal surfaces where corrosion resistance is important.
Epoxy adhesives are used where high strength bonds are required and can be developed to meet almost any application. They can be made flexible or rigid, transparent or colored, fast setting or extremely slow setting.
In general, exopy adhesives cured with heat will be more heat and chemical-resistant than those cured at room temperature,
