Potting usually refers to a system in which there is a container around an encapsulated part. A casting has no container, but may be poured into a void, such as a mold, and then removed after complete curing. Vea Menos | |
| Coal Tar Epoxy | Huntsman Performance Products | Coal tar-modified epoxy coatings are frequently used to line water tanks and to coat bridges, decks, and pipelines. They offer corrosion protection from water, acids, alkalies, salts, and some solvents. | |
| Decorative Aggregate | Huntsman Performance Products | Decorative, or bonded, aggregate refers to composites made by mixing together gravel of various sizes and colors with an unpigmented epoxy system. The epoxy mix is blended with the rock at a 5 to 6 wt.% level and formed into various shapes or troweled int...Vea Mas Decorative, or bonded, aggregate refers to composites made by mixing together gravel of various sizes and colors with an unpigmented epoxy system. The epoxy mix is blended with the rock at a 5 to 6 wt.% level and formed into various shapes or troweled into place much like concrete. Vea Menos | |
| Decoupage Coating | Huntsman Performance Products | A popular application for epoxies is in decoupage-type coatings where objects such as wooden plaques, clocks, pictures and signs are coated with a high-gloss finish. | |
