Bisphenol-A, Epichlorohydrine, sodium hydroxide and methylisobutylketone are the main raw materials required
Flow sheet of epoxy resin production process
Epichlorohydrine and bisphenol-A as respective raw material are fed into the reaction vessel. These are melted and undergo the first stage reaction with temperature maintained constant.
In this first stage reaction, which is exothermic, epoxy radical is separated from epichlorohydrine to be attached to hydroxyl radical, thus producing chlorohydrine ether.
In the second stage reaction the produced chlorohydrine ether causes a...
