Epoxy resins are crucial to the world as we know it today. A core ingredient of engineering and manufacturing, epoxies improve productivity, enable innovation, boost growth and support sustainability. Epoxy resins used as binders for coatings, adhesives, sealants, fillers and matrices for lamination, impregnation, encapsulation, tooling, composite materials or fibre reinforced plastics, they have a diverse set of applications, like construction & civil engineering, wind energy, automotive, marine, protection, aerospace, flooring, piping, packaging, food, electronics, sport and leisure and household appliances.
Some applications demand a solution that is effective, multi functional and with no margin for error. Solid Epoxy Resins, which are Solvent-cut Bisphenol-A-based Di-Glycidyl Ethers, deliver reliable and consistent performance. Offering fast drying and long pot life, Solid Epoxy Resins are used in solvent-based protective coatings, can coating, coil coating, anti-corrosive marine paints & varnishes, electrical laminates & castings and primers.
Waterborne epoxy systems are eco-friendly, non-VOC based systems that are especially useful in metal and concrete protection. Capable of being used through existing tools and procedures, they easy to adopt by formulators and applicators. Easily diluted and applied, even a thin layer assures protection resulting in significant savings in time and cost.
Applicators and formulators sometime need to address challenges posed by varied environemnts and on ground complexities. There arises a need to extend the functional capabilities of an epoxy system. As a Viscosity Reducer or/and Performance Modifier, a Reactive Diluent can offer a solution while being environmentally viable.
Our Aliphatic and Aromatic Reactive Diluents have a lower co-efficient of expansion, higher compressive power and lower reduction and exothermic properties. They are useful across a wide spectrum of applications.
For effective use of an epoxy resin, a Curing Agent is a key component that defines the final physical properties. Also known as a hardener, crosslinker or adducts, they impact viscosity, gel time curing kinetics, degree of curing and curing cycle. A Curing Agent triggers cross-linking in epoxy resins, while curing, to form hard, infusible thermoset networks.
Curing agents find a wide gamut of applications like coatings, floorings, primers, screeds, mortars, grouts, lining to deliver chemical and corrosion protection advantages.
For constantly evolving new age products and applications, epoxy based composites are an matchless proposition. Offering the advantages of traditional materials, with unmatched cost effectiveness and light weighting capability, they are a first choice for varied industries globally.
Composite is a hybrid material with two distinctly different components- fibers and a matrix material, mostly a polymer resin. Combining the high tensile strength of fibres and the toughness & malleability of polymer resins, they have optimal strength & stiffness properties to withstand torque loads and multiple flexural, compressive & tensile forces. Epoxy-based Composites systems are suitable for key processes like Resin Transfer Molding, Resin Infusion, Hand Layup, Prepregs, Filament Winding and Pultrusion. Key application markets are automotive components, wind turbine blades, boats, consumer goods & corrosion-resistant industrial parts, communication satellites, aircrafts, sports & recreational goods, transportation, electronics, heavy industries and energy sector in oil & gas exploration.
An essential for the electronics and electrical industry is to protect critical components from adverse environmental factors like oxygen, moisture, temperature and operational effects like electrical flashers, current leakage, salt spray, radiation, solvent, chemicals, micro-organisms, mechanical shock and vibrations. Our epoxy resins offer unmatched protection of electrical & electronic assemblies and components and insulation worldwide.
Material science has always been a driving force of human civilization, and today, composites occupy a pride of place as a leading engineering material. However, there have always been concerns on end of life waste management and process sustainability.
Redefining the future of thermosets, enter Recyclamine. Recyclamine® technology is a path-breaking, patented innovation that allows epoxy thermosets, which are non-recyclable to be now, recovered, reused and repurposed. This facilitates end-of-life recycling and zero-waste manufacturing, thereby plugging into a circular economy.
Recyclamines® are novel amine-based curing agents that contain specifically engineered cleavage points at cross-linking sites, which convert thermosetting epoxies into thermoplastics under specific set of conditions, thus helping achieve recyclability of Thermosetting Composites. Valuable reinforcing components such as carbon fiber or glass fiber as well as plastic material in a thermoset composite can be recovered and reused, thus contributing towards a circular economy.
