Epoxy resins have a well-established record in a wide range of composites parts as well as in concrete repair. Epoxies are used primarily for fabricating high-performance composites with superior mechanical properties, resistance to corrosive liquids and environments, superior electrical properties, good performance at elevated temperatures, good adhesion to a substrate, or a combination of these benefits. Surfaces of epoxy resin composites are not cosmetically appealing, so the material is a good choice in applications where functional requirements outweigh aesthetic ones.

It can be used in applications ranging from sleek automotive body panels to rugged floor or wall panels. Its high strength & modulus behavior makes it a good choice for paneling of structural nature. Its low density makes it up to five times lighter than equivalent metal parts and its strength to weight ratio is very good.

The structure of the Polymer can be engineered to yield a number of different construction products with varying levels of performance. A major benefit of epoxy resins over polyester resins is their reduced shrinkage upon curing. Epoxy resins can also be formulated with different materials or blended with other epoxy resins to achieve specific performance features. Its properties and benefits can be further enhanced when used in conjunction with carbon fibre.

Advantages
- Outstanding electrical insulation 
- High temperature and chemical resistance
- Excellent adhesion to reinforcements
- Extremely low shrinkage
- Almost no odour

Limitations
- Epoxy resins do not have particularly good UV resistance
- Since the viscosity of epoxy is much higher than that of most polyester resins, a post-cure (elevated-heat) process is often required to obtain ultimate mechanical properties
- Epoxies do not produce cosmetically appealing finishes, so they are best used in applications where functional requirements outweigh aesthetic ones

Processing technologies
Epoxies are compatible with most composites manufacturing processes particularly: 
- Vacuum infusion
​- Vacuum bagging
- Compression moulding
- Hand lay up

BFG International’s experienced designers and engineers select the optimal process in each case based on variables such as the client’s tooling budget, dimensional tolerance and physical properties of the parts, and production volume.
