Dow Chemical Introduces New Epoxy Resin

Global industrial giant Dow Chemical Plastics has introduced a new type of epoxy resin that combines the adhesion and fire resistance of general epoxy resins with the flexibility and ease of processing of thermoplastics. This is an excellent raw material for plastics. Because it has excellent oxygen barrier properties and adhesion, it is named Blox high insulation resin and Blox high adhesion resin. It also built a factory specializing in the production of Blox resin, which can produce 10,000 tons of Blox resin per year.

Blox high insulation resin is mainly used in the beverage industry as a barrier layer for multi-layer PET bottles. Because of its good transparency, strong adhesion and toughness, it is suitable for oxygen and carbon dioxide sensitive beverage packaging, and with other insulation resins EVOH and MXD6 Similar prices, slightly better adhesion, it is reported that the isolation of this resin can also be adjusted according to the needs and cost balance.

The adhesion, durability, and transparency of Blox's high-adhesion resin are better, but the insulation properties are slightly inferior. They can attach well to fiber materials and can also adhere to plastic, wood, metal, and glass.
