Chemistry

The chemistry section of this article is nothing short of shocking. I'll edit it properly to illustrate their synthesis, how the curing reactions work and the effects of changing the type of resin and the type of hardener when I have some time in the near future.

Yes, the only thing I read about curing is that a "catalyst" is used - which may be right but in the most cases isn't. --FK1954 (talk) 15:21, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Also please tone down all the talk about businesses involved. Who cares about the money grubbing that goes on? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.1.20.11 (talk) 21:34, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

What is the layman's term basic raw material for the components (resins and hardeners) of epoxy? Petroleum? Coal? bio (plant)? Wikiredr (talk) 23:32, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Wikiredr

Is it thermosetting or not?

The opening sentence says epoxy is thermosetting and later in the article it says epoxy doesn't necessarily benefit from heat generated during the curing process. Is epoxy thermosetting or not? Rsduhamel (talk) 19:35, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Thermoset doesn't mean "heat induces curing" (see that article's opening sentence--the terminology is confusing, but mere Wikipedia can't fix that:(. Luckily, the opening sentence links "thermosetting" to that article, so you can un-confuse yourself. DMacks (talk) 20:49, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
