INTRODUCTION
EPOXY RESINS- The resins which have at least two epoxy groups per
molecule are known as epoxy resins
EPOXIDE- An epoxide is a cyclic ether with a 3 atom ring.
ETHER – R-O-R’
eg. CH₃-CH₂-O-CH₂-CH₃

types
i. Bisphenol A epoxy resin
ii. Bisphenol F epoxy resin
iii. Novolac epoxy resin
iv. Aliphatic epoxy resin
v. Glycidylamine epoxy resin
17-01-2018 MEE411 EPOXY RESINS 4
RAW MATERIAL
i. Bisphenol-A
ii. Epichlorohydrine
iii. Sodium hydroxide
iv. Methylisobutylketone
The raw materials for epoxy resin production are largely
petroleum derived, although some plant derived sources are
now becoming commercially available (e.g. plant derived
glycerol is used to make epichlorohydrin)

reaction mechanism
Epoxy prepolymer formed from bisphenol –A and epichlorohydrin by step
growth polymerisation
STEP I --- Formation of low molecular weight prepolymer called diepoxy

The first thing that happens is that the NaOH does a little swap with the bisphenol A,
to give the bisphenol A sodium salt:

Production Process

First Stage Reaction (exothermic) -- Epoxy radical is separated from epichlorohydrine to
be attached to hydroxyl radical, thus producing chlorohydrine ether.
Second Stage Reaction - the produced chlorohydrine ether causes a dechloration reaction
to occur in the presence of NaOH, producing a terminal epoxy radical.
The ether of bisphenol-A produced as a result continues to react with bisphenol-A and
epichlorhydrine and gradually forms a high polymer. On completion of polymerization, the
polymer is transferred through storage tank to the epichlorohydrine separation
evaporator, where epichlorohydrine is separated under vacuum.
