Since 1958, Epic Resins has been manufacturing quality resin compounds for a wide range of industries. We formulate compounds for applications such as:
Full line of chemically-resistant polyurethane end cap materials for the spa, pool, and submersible pump industries.
We can adapt any of our epoxy resins or polyurethanes to meet the specifications of your industrial filtration application. Our products feature modifiable properties, including electrical, chemical and heat resistance, and adhesion rates. We add thermosetting polymers to our filtration adhesives to ensure chemically-resistant resin combinations are available. Thermosetting polymers allow our products to maintain adhesive and bonding functionality while exposed to chemicals in a high-temperature setting. Thermoset is set once cured, meaning the chemical reaction has occurred and cannot be altered by outside forces. Our epoxy and polyurethane filtration adhesives remain secure in any circumstances.
