What is epoxy resin?

エポキシ樹脂の構造図 エポキシ樹脂の構造図

Epoxy resin is a general term for compounds that have two or more highly reactive three-membered ring epoxy groups in one molecule. Reacted with different curing agents,
it is used in different fields such as adhesives, paints, electric/electronic fields, civil engineering, and printed wiring boards.

Main characteristics of epoxy resin

  • Great adhesion
  • Low curing shrinkage
  • Great flexibility
  • Good
    Heat resistance
    Wear resistance
    Solvent resistance
  • Great electrical properties

What is
DENACOL?

DENACOL is a special epoxy compound in which hydroxyl groups and carboxylic acid
are converted into glycidyl ether or ester by making full
use of Nagase ChemteX's advanced organic synthesis technology.
We have various kinds of products from monofunctional to multi-functional epoxies.
In particular, we have a selection of water-soluble epoxy compounds.
They are used in a wide range of applications due to the high reactivity of the epoxy groups.

Cross-linking reaction of aqueous epoxy compounds

Features of DENACOL

  • Multi-functional aliphatic epoxy

    While having flexibility and weather resistance derived from an aliphatic structures,
    it is possible to obtain a cross-linked structure with a strong network since it is multi-functional.
    It can be used in a wide range of fields
    such as adhesives, paints and modifiers for fiber and paper.

  • Water-soluble
