DOW Solid Epoxy Resin

The DOW Solid Epoxy Resin series combines tailored molecular architectures with multifunctional reactivity to address demanding industrial requirements. Built on bisphenol A or phenolic novolac backbones, the resins feature adjustable epoxy equivalent weights (EEW) ranging from 172 to 2100 g/eq, enabling precise control over crosslinking density and cured network properties.

High-EEW variants exhibit extended chain lengths for enhanced flexibility, while low-EEW grades maximize epoxy group concentration to achieve rigid, chemically resistant thermosets.

Post-cure, the resins form densely crosslinked networks with high glass transition temperatures (Tg), delivering mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to acids, solvents, and thermal degradation.
