Moreover, epoxies are also used to compound high grade solvent systems for several uses. Finally, epoxy water systems are available wherever solvents are objectionable. No other material can do as much. For this reason, quite a few engineers,architects and consultants advise to specify epoxies when there is any doubt. Adhesive Properties .
Epoxies are the strongest and most versatile structural rigid adhesives.
They also offer superior electrical properties, very high heat and chemical resistance, dimensional stability and durability. They are unsurpassed for bonding metals, for laminating and filling fiberglass, assembling circuit boards, composite structures, for maintenance repairs, patching applications, etc. Heat Resistance . As a thermoset, epoxy can not be melted by heat. This capability has been most fittingly used in advanced space technology.
