December 1, 1901 Epoxy does not have to mean harmfulEpoxy does not have to mean harmful
‘Epoxy’ is often used as a generic term for many adhesives or resins, but epoxies are actually a very specific class of product. They feature chemistries that are designed to be durable in demanding conditions, including harsh outdoor weather, solvents and other conditions. Both polyurethane and epoxy resins have been shown to contain carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic chemicals (CMR substances) that can be dangerous to the people who work with them. To help companies switch, to safer alternative, 3M has developed an epoxy resin that removes the CMR and toxin elements without compromising the performance. Click on the title to learn more.
