FILLERS FOR EPOXY RESINS

Learn about the effects of using various fillers in your application.

Fillers are capable of transforming an epoxy to have much superior performance. They are capable of affecting the viscosity, shrinkage, pot life and exotherm. In addition, they can affect mechanical properties of an adhesive, such as tensile strength, compressive strength, abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, hardness, impact resistance and flexural strength. Also, they can affect the epoxies thermal and electrical properties. They could impart thermal as well as electrical conductivity, offer better thermal stability, arc resistance and dielectric properties. Selecting the right filler is extremely critical for your application. Learn more about how the choice of a filler affects an epoxy's final properties.
