Applicable Base Polymer Properties
Epoxy adhesives are generally more resistant to a wide variety of liquid environments than other structural adhesives. However, they are generally considered to be very rigid systems, and as such they do not have exceptionally good impact or peel resistance unless modified with tougheners.
Hypox products are predominately reactants of CTBN with the base thermoset resin to gain product performance improvements. These resultant pre-reacts (adducts) can be incorporated at various levels to suit the needs of the specific formulation.
