EXTU 272™ Epoxy Resin is the most widely used general purpose liquid epoxy resin. It is recognized as the standard from which many variations have been developed.
A wide variety of curing agents is available to cure liquid epoxy resins at ambient conditions. The most frequently used are aliphatic polyamines, polyamides, amidoamines, cycloaliphatic amines and modified versions of these curing agents. Curing may also be done at an elevated temperature to improve selected properties such as chemical resistance and glass transition temperature. If anhydride or catalytic curing agents are employed, elevated temperature cures are necessary and long post-cures are required to develop full end properties.
