This basically means that pure epoxy is extremely susceptible to reactions with other chemicals. The other chemical in the case of epoxy is a hardening or curing agent which works to cure it into a very strong adhesive. Epoxies are created through reacting an epoxy resin and a hardener or simply by reacting the resins themselves. The vast majority of epoxy resins are themselves an industrial product which are derived from petroleum and are also the result of an epoxide reactive process.
All depending on the type of reaction that was used to produce them, cured epoxy resins can either be like honey, or something much more viscous. Their actual molecular weight will determine the uses that you can get out of them. Epoxy resins are very stable at room temperature and only cure when reacting with some kind of curing agent. Epoxies are the most common coating that's used in the field of wastewater.
These are based on reactions which are made with still further reactions. We will now take a look at the different types of epoxy that are out there. This is the most commonly used resin when it comes to epoxy coatings. These are available in a very large range of molecular weights, which makes them particularly versatile when it comes to the application of the epoxies.
The resulting product of this is a honey-like liquid, and it is largely used for solids coatings as well as flooring systems. Bisphenol A has good broad range chemical resistance as well as great physical properties. It's cured using a variety of curing agents at good ambient temperatures.
Because of its high viscosity and the difficult applications of it, there have traditionally been dilutants added to the formula.
Reactive dilutants can have a good effect on diluting the epoxy but could also have negative effects in other aspects of the epoxy as well. These epoxies are far less viscous than Bisphenol A epoxies. If this is the case a different hardener may be required. Also, hardeners with certain additives can be used.
These hardener additives serve as catalysts that speed up the curing process. Subscribe to our newsletter to get expert advice and top insights on corrosion science, mitigation and prevention.

Introduction to Electroplating Interview with Jane Debbrecht. Metallizing How to Control Corrosion by Improving Design. Why is Stainless Steel Corrosion Resistant? It's an easy-to-use ratio epoxy resin, meaning it requires equal amounts of both resin and hardener, measured by volume. Not sure? No problem! ArtResin has a handy resin calculator on our website that figures it out for you.
The Resin Calculator tells you how much ArtResin you'll need and even recommends which kit you should get. If you want a thicker coat, you will need more ArtResin to cover the same surface area, in order to do multiple pours.
ArtResin is a epoxy resin, and requires equal amounts of both resin and hardener in order to catalyze and cure. After you've prepped your work surface and determined how much ArtResin you need, simply pour precisely equal amounts by volume of resin and hardener into a plastic mixing cup with well marked measurement lines.
M easure accurately! Adding too much of either resin or hardener will alter the chemical reaction and the mixture will not cure properly. Example: Say you have a piece of artwork that is 2 feet x 3 feet. Entering 24" x 36" into the Resin Calculator gives you a result of 30 oz total resin required: this represents a combined volume of 15 oz of resin and 15 oz of hardener.
Start by pouring 15 oz of resin into the measuring cup, followed by 15 oz of hardener, to give you 30 oz total. The 32 oz kit is the perfect amount for your project's needs.
Once you're sure you've measured the correct amounts of resin and hardener, go ahead and mix them. You'll need to mix thoroughly, for at least 3 whole minutes.
S crape the sides and bottom of the container as you mix. If bubbles appear, don't worry If any unmixed resin or hardener stuck to the sides gets scraped out onto your artwork, you'll end up with soft wet spots in your cured resin. So remember
