A very good way is the use of piston metering heads. The ratio of resin to hardener can be determined exactly by the ratio of the width of two separate pistons, one for resin, one for hardener, where both pistons are pushed simultaneously. The amount is determined by a common stopper, limiting the stroke of both pistons equally.
The epoxy value is defined as the number of moles of epoxy group per 100g resin. So as an example using an epoxy resin with molar mass of 382 and that has 2 moles of epoxy groups per mole of resin, the EEW = 382/2 = 191, and the epoxy value is calculated as follows: 100/191 = 0.53 (i.e. the epoxy value of the resin is 0.53).

Bondo, a two-part mix (resin with hardener added) of talc and plastic, was introduced in 1955. [7] It was developed by WWII veteran and automotive repair shop owner Robert Merton Spink of Miami , Florida . [ 8 ]
The global epoxy resin market was valued at approximately $8 billion in 2016. The epoxy resin market is dominated by the Asia-Pacific region, which contributes 55.2% of the total market share. China is the major producer and consumer globally, consuming almost 35% of the global resin production.
A package of J-B Weld, showing "hardener" (red tube) and "steel" (black tube of resin): equal amounts are squeezed from both tubes and mixed. The J-B Weld Company is an international company that produces epoxy products. The home office is based in Sulphur Springs, Texas. [1]
The resin and hardener part together is known as the "Binder". As the name indicates, in Fusion bonded epoxy coatings the resin part is an "epoxy" type resin. “Epoxy” or “Oxirane” structure contains a three membered cyclic ring — one oxygen atom connected to two carbon atoms – in the resin molecule. This part is the most reactive ...
Alternately, resin casting may be accomplished with a resin plus a nearly equal amount of a "hardener" liquid (as in many epoxy resin or polyester resin systems), which functionally contains a second polymer, for use in forming a final product plastic which is a copolymer. Copolymers contain two different alternating chemical entities in the ...
Fiber volume ratio is an important mathematical element in composite engineering.Fiber volume ratio, or fiber volume fraction, is the percentage of fiber volume in the entire volume of a fiber-reinforced composite material. [1]
