How Thioplastâ„¢ polysulfides improve the flexibility and chemical resistance of epoxies
Thioplastâ„¢ EPS can be used to improve chemical resistance, thermal stability, flexibility and cracking within epoxy systems.
Thioplast™ EPS resins are epoxy-terminated polysulfides for use as the primary or co-binder in epoxy systems. These hybrid resins have unique properties that combine the flexibility, chemical resistance and crack bridging of the polysulfide with the chemical reactivity of epoxy resin technology.
Thioplast™ EPS resins are used in high-performance adhesives, bonding a wide variety of substrates including aluminium, steel and concrete. It is used in premium anti-corrosive coatings for structural steel, marine and off-shore applications. Thioplast™ EPS also performs well in mechanically and chemically stressed coatings such as those found on pipelines and tanking. It displays excellent resistance to fuels and mineral oils which is why you will find it being used on the inside of pipeline coatings, fuel storage tanks, repair pits and refuelling depots.
Take a look at the chemistry behind Thioplast™ EPS and how it can be used in Coatings, Paints, Adhesives and Sealants.
