Epoxy resins

Epoxy resins are a class of prepolymers and polymers containing more than one epoxide group. The vast majority of epoxy resins are petroleum derivatives produced through industrial processing. Today, hundreds of epoxy resins are available, the most common produced from epichlorohydrin and Bisphenol A. They are also known as polyepoxides and are often used to designate cured epoxies, also called epoxy or epoxy polymer.
