epoxy resin
A class of thermoplastic polymers of the polyether type, formed from epichlorhydrin and a dihydric alcohol or phenol (e.g., bisphenol-A), and cross-linked by a curing agent. Inert, strong, adhesive, and good insulators, epoxy resins are mixed with fillers and plasticizers and used for construction, coating, and bonding.
