Epoxies are the most widely used polymers for adhesives, sealants, coatings, encapsulants, potting materials and impregnating compounds. These versatile materials come in liquids, pastes, and semi-cured films and solids. They resist oil, moisture and many solvents, and they bond well to a variety of substrates.

Epoxy adhesives are versatile in both application and performance, with their most desirable properties being high bond strength to a wide variety of substrates, except untreated plastics and elastomers. Their versatility lies in the fact that they can be mixed with additional substances or fillers.
