Can You Vary the Ratio of Resin to Hardener to Speed It Up or Slow It Down?
Epoxy resin systems typically comprise of two main parts: a Part A resin and a Part B hardener. These two parts need to have the right ratio for the system to work properly. Typically, a chemist will calculate this ratio chemically to ensure a well-balanced system. With the right ratio of resin to hardener, the […]
Acrylic Resin vs. Epoxy Resin
Acrylic resin is a group of thermoplastic materials derived from acrylic acid — a monomer that is reactive with other chemicals to harden. Epoxy resin is a type of thermosetting material that can be a two-part clear liquid. Both types of resins have unique properties and applications. Copps Industries is a leading provider of epoxy […]

Why Do Epoxies Yellow?
Epoxy resins are commonly used for adhesives, protective coatings, and other construction applications. However, some lightly colored and white epoxies can start to yellow over time, ruining the appearance of the epoxy layer. This yellowing effect can seem random, but certain environmental factors can actually make epoxy more vulnerable to yellowing. In this blog, we’ll […]
Polyurea vs. Polyurethane: Similarities, Differences, and Applications
Polyurea and polyurethane are ideal for manufacturing protective linings and coatings. The two materials share many similarities and can often be used interchangeably. However, there are several distinct differences that should be considered when choosing between the polymer compounds. From chemical composition to curing time, these differences lend unique advantages and disadvantages depending on the […]
