Thanks to their durability, processing flexibility, resistance to chlorine, microbes and other threats, epoxy resins represent a viable alternative for delivering drinking water.

IT & electronics are a sector where the number of applications of epoxy resins has been increasing sharply in the past few years.

Epoxy resins are used both as composites and coatings in the production, transformation and distribution of various types of renewable and non-renewable energy.

Flooring is one of the most important applications for epoxies, accounting for 30% of all epoxies sold in Europe in the construction and coating sector.

Epoxy-based resins are key to food and beverage containers’ long shelf life.

The applications making use of epoxies enhanced coatings and paints are very diverse. The most common are construction (including flooring), the maritime industry, sewage treatment as well as home appliances.

Epoxies play a key role in improving the performance of sports and leisure equipment for both amateurs and professionals.
