Greetings,I am just searching for some information. In regards to epoxy resin, from my understanding, the epoxy itself does not pose detrimental effects to environment.
But, the curing agent usually cause negative effects due to its toxicity. As for solvent, mostly may also cause negative effects due to its volatile organic compound (VOC) emission.
Can anyone give me suggestions on what curing agent and solvent (for epoxy resin) I should used which have less or non detrimental effects on both human and environment?
salaam.
I suggest, may be used or employing in another technical you choose, for riddance from its and treatment, as by solvent with some other materials.
A) You can use low viscose epoxy resins to avoid solvents.
B) Depending on application there are several curing agents for epoxy resins. Perhaps you cane use diciandiamide or some anhydrides with smaller toxic potential.
