Epoxy resin is manufactured from a mixture of materials like epichlorohydrin (ECH) and bisphenol-A (BPA) and fillers. For additional strength, fillers like silica, metal, and glass may be added.
Epoxy resin countertops are cast in thin layers one by one, and the thermoset process used to cure each layer preps the material for enhanced heat resistance. Fillers can be added according to the needs of individual customers, and since epoxy resin countertops are poured and cured layer by layer, they can be made virtually any size or thickness.
Epoxy resin sinks are standard in commercial and lab environments. They are typically installed in either drop-in or undermount style.
Epoxy resin drying racks and pegboards are commonly found in lab environments for hanging and drying glassware.
