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).

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 ...
When using latent hardeners, the epoxy resin and hardener may be mixed and stored for some time prior to use, which is advantageous for many industrial processes. Very latent hardeners enable one-component (1K) products to be produced, whereby the resin and hardener are supplied pre-mixed to the end user and only require heat to initiate curing.
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.
Resorcinol glue, also known as resorcinol-formaldehyde, is an adhesive combination of resin and hardener that withstands long-term water immersion and has high resistance to ultraviolet light. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The adhesive, introduced in 1943, has been popular in aircraft and boat construction.
Vinyl ester resin is an example of a synthetic resin. [1] Synthetic resins are industrially produced resins, typically viscous substances that convert into rigid polymers by the process of curing. In order to undergo curing, resins typically contain reactive end groups, [2] such as acrylates or epoxides.
Araldite adhesive sets by the interaction of an epoxy resin with a hardener. Mixing an epoxy resin and hardener together starts a chemical reaction that produces heat – an exothermic reaction. [2] It is claimed that after curing the bond is impervious to boiling water and to all common organic solvents.
