Epoxy resins in the construction industry

Due to their excellent technical properties, epoxy resins are frequently used in several areas in the construction industry. Unfortunately, in this industry, there is little opportunity to implement technical protective measures, such as automation or processing in closed plants or plants with a vacuum extraction system.

Therefore, employees involved in the preparation of epoxy resins are advised to use optimal containers that enable safe mixing and safe application.

The information supplied with the epoxy resin product (technical information sheet and safety data sheet) should ensure that potential risks are clearly mentioned and that the right protective equipment is used.

A self-assessment system (German only) is available, allowing manufacturers to optimise the above-mentioned product information on epoxy resin products.
