Epoxy glue hardens
Properties of starting substances
- Epoxy resin: thick, viscous liquid that can be easily mixed with other substances
- Epoxy hardener: typically a clear liquid that reacts with the resin to initiate the hardening process
- When the resin and hardener are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs that creates heat and starts the cross-linking process
- The hardening process can be accelerated by increasing the temperature or adding more hardener
- Once the epoxy glue has fully hardened, it becomes a strong, durable material that is resistant to water, chemicals, and heat
