Eco-friendly Epoxy Resin, GREEN DENACOL

GREEN DENACOL is a bio-based epoxy resin made from plant-derived raw materials. By switching the starting materials from petroleum-based to bio-based, it enhances sustainability and contributes to reducing CO2 emissions.

Epoxy crosslinkers are chemicals containing two or more epoxy groups that bond with the functional groups of target polymers through heat or light-induced crosslinking reactions. This crosslinking reaction alters the molecular weight and chemical structure of the polymer, providing benefits such as improved properties like water resistance and solvent resistance, as well as the addition of functionalities like flexibility or water solubility.

DENACOL, as a flexibility modifier, can improve the hardness and brittleness of epoxy resins, enhancing their flexibility, impact resistance, and toughness.

DENACOL can be used as a resin modifier to impart various functionalities, such as hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, improved hardness, and enhanced adhesion. By using resin modifiers, it is possible to effectively add these functional properties.

Bio-based epoxy resins use plant-derived raw materials for their main structure while offering functionality comparable to conventional epoxy resins. Due to environmental regulations and considerations, they can be relatively easily substituted for traditional epoxy resins. In particular, depending on the application, improvements in durability and heat resistance can also be expected.

VOC-free epoxy resins are epoxy resins that generate little to no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Their low VOC emissions help reduce impacts on both human health and the environment.
It can also impart properties such as water resistance and chemical resistance, making it widely used in adhesives and coatings.

Water-soluble epoxy resins do not require the use of organic solvents, significantly reducing the generation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When applied to coatings, they can enhance adhesion, corrosion resistance, and chemical resistance, making them suitable for uses such as indoor floor coatings.

Furthermore, their high versatility, due to diverse reactivity, allows them to be applied across a wide range of applications.

Low-chlorine epoxy resins are epoxy resins with reduced chlorine content as an impurity in their structure. They are suitable for use in electronic materials and coatings because they help prevent chlorine-induced quality degradation, such as wiring corrosion on printed circuit boards.

Additionally, they can prevent the generation of harmful gases during combustion, contributing to the prevention of air pollution.
