Epoxy resin is a type of synthetic polymer that is widely used for its strong adhesive properties and durability. It is typically formed by mixing two components a resin and a hardener which react chemically to create a rigid and tough material. Epoxy resin is known for its excellent resistance to heat chemicals and moisture making it suitable for coatings adhesives and composite materials. It is commonly used in construction electronics art and crafts as well as in the manufacturing of high performance materials due to its ability to form a smooth glossy finish and its strong bonding capability.
