Epoxy resin calculator

Epoxy sys­tems con­sist of two com­po­nents, a resin and a hard­en­er. When these are mixed in the cor­rect ratio, a chem­i­cal reac­tion takes place and the mix­ture cures to a sol­id. The cur­ing time of the mate­r­i­al depends on the prod­ucts used, the tem­per­a­ture, the vol­ume and the “speed” of the hard­en­er. It is impor­tant to under­stand that the pro­por­tion of hard­en­er used does not change the speed of cur­ing, the cor­rect mix­ing ratio must always be maintained.

An impor­tant basis for the use of epoxy sys­tems are:

An accu­rate mea­sure­ment of the resin and hard­en­er com­po­nents — If the mix­ing ratio of resin and hard­en­er is not cor­rect, the epoxy will nev­er cure prop­er­ly. There are two meth­ods for meter­ing resin and hard­en­er in the cor­rect ratio:

1. By vol­ume with mix­ing cups or pumps

2. By weight with an accu­rate or cal­i­brat­ed dig­i­tal scale
