Applicable Base Polymer Properties
Epoxy adhesives are generally more resistant to a wide variety of liquid environments than other structural adhesives. However, the resistance to a specific environment is greatly dependent on the type of epoxy curing agent used. Thixotropic agents are used to provide non-sag properties. At one time asbestos fiber was used as the main thixotrope; however, today this has been replaced by other fibrous fillers such as cellulose fiber.
