Resin Systems

Resin Systems

Epoxy · EP

Epoxy Resin →

Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, crosslinked with amines into a 3D network. Excellent adhesion, chemical and alkali resistance. Standard resin for anti-corrosion primers and floor coatings.

adhesion ★★★★★chemical resistance ★★★★★weathering ★★ Corresponding Products: EP-ZR / EP-MIO / EP-PR / SEAL / FG / FL-EP
Polyurethane · PU

Polyurethane →

Polyol + isocyanate (MDI/HDI) crosslinking. HDI aliphatic PU is non-yellowing, main resin for outdoor topcoats and soft-touch.

weathering ★★★★abrasion resistance ★★★★Flexibility ★★★★★ Corresponding Products: PU-TC / PU-MIC / SOFT-2K / TOP / FL-PE
FEVE Fluorocarbon

FEVE Fluoropolymer →

CTFE-vinyl ether copolymer, C-F bond energy 485 kJ/mol. QUV 3000h gloss retention ≥80%. Best ambient-cure weathering resin.

weathering ★★★★★chemical resistance ★★★★Self-cleaning ★★★★ Corresponding Products: FEVE-FC / FEVE-TC / FEVE-M / ANTI
Silicone · HT

Silicone →

Si-O main chain bond energy 452 kJ/mol. Long-term resistance to 200-600°C. Used for exhaust pipes, chimneys, boiler exteriors. Air-dry or 200°C bake. Aluminum powder type shows metallic gloss retention. Stainless steel substrate requires dedicated primer.

Temperature resistance 400-600°Cweathering ★★★★★adhesion ★★★ Corresponding Products: HT-400 / HT-600
Vinyl Ester · VE

Vinyl Ester →

Epoxy ring-opening with methacrylic acid, peroxide-cured. Resists acids, alkalis and solvents. For carbon fiber wetting and FRP linings.

chemical resistance ★★★★★Solvent Resistance ★★★★★Interlaminar shear ★★★★ Corresponding Products: WET
UV Curable Acrylate

UV Acrylic →

Multifunctional acrylate monomers + photoinitiator, UV radical polymerization. Very low VOC, high line speed. For 3C housings. Higher functionality, higher crosslink density, better abrasion resistance but more brittle.

Cure Speed ★★★★★VOC ★★★★★Brittle ★★ Corresponding Products: UV-PR / UV-HARD / UV-PR2 / GEL-UV / TOP-CL
Polyurea · SP

Polyurea elastomer →

Isocyanate + amine-terminated polyether, second-level gel. 1:1 plural-component spray, 1-5mm film in one pass.

Cure <10sImpact Resistance ★★★★★Seawater Resistance ★★★★★ Corresponding Products: PU-SP / DEK
Graphene Modified

Graphene Modified Resin →

Add 0.3-1.5 wt% graphene oxide (GO/rGO) to epoxy / polyurethane, layer maze extends penetration path 5-10x. Also provides conductivity (percolation threshold ~0.5wt%) and thermal conductivity (5-8 W/m·K) performance.
