PHENOXY RESINS FIND GROWING USE IN COATINGS, INKS AND ADHESIVES

摘要

From household paint to industrial floorings and advanced carbon fiber materials, phenoxy is finding increasing use as a component of coatings, inks, adhesives and composite materials worldwide. Phenoxy Resins were invented by Union Carbide 35 years ago and are now manufactured exclusively by InChem Corp. in Rock Hill, SC, USA. These tough and ductile thermoplastic materials have high cohesive strength and good impact resistance - somewhat like epoxy but superior in a number of ways.Phenoxy resins are available in pellet, waterborne and solvent-borne solution forms, as well as phenoxy-polyester hybrids, epoxy-phenoxy hybrids, and caprolactone-modified forms.
