What is Epoxy Resin?
Epoxy resin is a polymer compound containing two or more epoxy groups in the molecule and is a thermosetting resin polymer. It is widely used in adhesives, coatings, waterproofing materials, electronic systems, etc. Epoxy resins have excellent abrasive resistance, so they can be used with wood, fabric, glass, porcelain, metal, etc. Epoxy resins have strong bonding properties and can be used to repair the material items mentioned above.
Infinechem Epoxy Resin Emulsion Properties and Uses
Epoxy resin emulsion is an aqueous dispersion of epoxy resin particles. It is made by dispersing epoxy resin into water with the help of an emulsifier. It has the properties of adhesion, chemical resistance and flexibility.
Infinechem Epoxy Resin Emulsion Properties

IFC-3113-Epoxy emulsion: Low odor, passed centrifugal stability and thinning stability test, so it has excellent stability. The final result is its excellent physical and mechanical properties and anti-corrosion effects.
IFC-2943-Solid epoxy resin emulsion: It has the properties of water resistance, and storage stability. It is said to be storage stable because it can be stored well at low temperatures like -10℃. It provides good flexibility and faster surface drying speed; emulsifier can be involved in the reaction to improve water resistance, and good anti-corrosion performance; good mechanical stability, can be involved in grinding, but the grinding temperature should not exceed 40 ℃.
IFC-2944-Modified solid epoxy emulsion: It has the property of high hardness and good chemical resistance.
IFC-2945-Epoxy emulsion: It has the properties of ultra-low VOC, small particle size, good water resistance, high solid content and good storage stability. The emulsifier contains an epoxy group, which can react with the curing agent to improve the water resistance of the coating film.
IFC-2965-Epoxy resin solution: It has low viscosity, good fluidity and easy operation.
Infinechem Epoxy Resin Emulsion Uses and Combinations
IFC-2941-Liquid Epoxy Resin: Widely used in solvent-free coatings, self-leveling coatings, casting materials, insulating materials, sealing materials, impregnating materials, laminating materials, adhesives, etc. The bonding strength of epoxy resin adhesive is at the forefront of adhesives.
IFC-3112-Epoxy Emulsion: It can be used for 1. Anti-corrosive undercoating of metal surfaces not immersed in water medium. 2. Anti-corrosive coating in industry. 3. For pipelines, tunnels, underground warehouses, etc. 4. For dispersing pigments and fillers.
IFC-3113-Epoxy emulsion: It can be used in waterborne epoxy anti-corrosion coatings.
IFC-2943-Solid epoxy emulsion: It can be used with waterborne epoxy curing agent to make waterborne epoxy coatings such as floor coatings, anticorrosive coatings, glass coatings, wall coatings, etc. When designing anticorrosive coating formulas, please use 20% overdose.
IFC-2944-Modified solid epoxy emulsion: It’s recommended to be used with IFC-2708 for a long period, and is suitable for two-component waterborne floor epoxy resin high-gloss top coat.
IFC-2945-Epoxy emulsion: Preparation of waterborne epoxy coatings. It is recommended to be used with a non-ionic waterborne epoxy curing agent. With IFC-2706 curing agent, it can be used as a floor primer. With waterborne epoxy curing agent, cement, sand, etc. can be made into cement polymer mortar, waterborne adhesive, hybrid resin, etc.
IFC-2965-Epoxy resin solution: It is suitable for preparing solvent-based coatings, impregnating paints, concrete cement, baking paint, fiberglass composite materials and adhesives.
Infienchem Epoxy Curing Agent properties and uses
Epoxy curing agents are compounds that react with epoxy resins to initiate the curing process. When combined with an epoxy, the epoxy transforms from a liquid or semi-liquid state to a solid, durable material. The choice and proportion of curing agent can significantly affect the final properties of the cured epoxy, such as hardness, flexibility and chemical resistance.
Infienchem Epoxy Curing Agent Properties
IFC-3114: Eco-friendly, low viscosity, with low construction odor, hard and abrasion-resistant coating film, good fullness, good water resistance, strong adhesion, etc.
IFC-2705: It has good resistance to salt spray and chemicals; excellent adhesion and flexibility, abrasion resistance, scrub resistance, mildew resistance; good low temperature curing performance.
IFC-2706: It has a strong emulsion ability to liquid epoxy resin and more complete curing; small curing shrinkage, not easy to crack; good construction; high curing strength; good adhesion to new and old cement substrates.
IFC-2707: Fast curing, fast rise of hardness; good salt spray resistance; good balance of impact resistance and applicability period. When used with standard liquid epoxy resin, it has a long application period, high film transparency and good gloss.
IFC-2708: It has low odor and doesn’t contain formaldehyde, heavy metals or other harmful substances. Water is the dispersing medium, so it is safe and convenient to use. The cured product has high hardness, excellent adhesion, high fullness, good resistance to abrasion, scrubbing, chemicals and mildew. Suitable for curing in low and medium temperatures, showing good film performance and gloss.
Infienchem Epoxy Curing Agent Uses and Combinations
Epoxy resins alone have very low application value, they need to be used in combination with a curing agent to be of practical value.
IFC-3114 curing agent and epoxy resin emulsion IFC-3113 are more effective when used together.
IFC-2705: It can be used with IFC-2943 epoxy emulsion for fast surface drying and hardness increase. It can be formulated with waterborne epoxy coatings that require fast actual drying, such as anti-corrosion coatings, concrete protective coatings and wood primers.
IFC-2706: Recommended to be used directly with standard liquid epoxy resin. It used for waterborne epoxy floor primer, mortar layer and cement repair mortar, self-leveling cement, etc. If it is used directly with epoxy emulsion, it may reduce the anti-cracking property of the mortar layer.
IFC-2707: Used to formulate waterborne epoxy coatings. Used in combination with epoxy emulsions for metal protective coatings, wood coatings, etc.
IFC-2708: It can be used to make mortar layer to enhance the strength of coating. It can also be used in epoxy resin adhesives and low VOC coatings. Concrete surfaces: primers, mortars, and topcoats; protective coatings for interior walls; floor coatings with high hardness and abrasion resistance; high-gloss floor coatings. Construction Coatings: anti-mold interior primers and topcoats, low VOC exterior anti-mold primers and industrial protective coatings; Adhesives: film-forming substances used as high-strength water-based adhesives.
Infinechem Epoxy Thinner Properties and Uses
Epoxy thinners is a class of chemical additives used to change the viscosity of epoxy resins. Epoxy thinner helps to reduce the viscosity of epoxy resins, making them easier to construct and apply.
IFC-2951-Mono epoxy based reactive thinner:
Properties: low toxicity, colorless, no annoying odor. Excellent dilution ability for general-purpose epoxy resins; excellent wetting and dispersing ability for non-polar surfaces and fillers; and participation in curing, not only has less effect on the performance of the cured material but also improves the flexibility of the cured material, impact resistance, etc.; high cost performance.
It is mainly used as an active thinner of epoxy in the fields of solvent-free coatings, adhesives, and abrasive base of color paste.
IFC-2961-Epoxy thinner:
Single epoxy-based active thinner with high purity. It can dissolve and thin low molecular weight epoxy, reduce the viscosity of epoxy and improve its fluidity. This kind of thinner will not produce foams during the curing reaction and is not volatile, thus it is friendly to the environment and has a certain toughening effect.
Construction: Suitable for large area pouring, potting, overall encapsulation and impregnation.
