Applicable Base Polymer Properties

Because of their thermosetting molecular structure, epoxy compounds exhibit excellent tensile-shear strength but poor peel strength unless modified with a more resilient polymer. Epoxy compounds offer excellent resistance to oil, moisture, and many solvents and therefore make good flooring materials.

Epoxy resins have no evolution of volatiles during cure and are useful in gap-filling applications.
