Solvent Free Epoxy Resin

Solvent Free Epoxy Resin is an epoxy-based material supplied without intentionally added conventional solvent, or with a formulation classified as solvent-free by the manufacturer.

It is used as a component or complete resin system in selected construction and industrial applications.

Depending on its formulation, solvent-free epoxy resin may be used for:

• Industrial flooring.

• Resin-based floor toppings.

• Concrete bonding.

• Protective coating systems.

• Epoxy mortars.

• Crack filling.

• Encapsulation.

• Chemical-resistant linings.

• Selected grouting applications.

A base epoxy resin is not necessarily a ready-to-apply construction product. Some grades require a compatible hardener, fillers, pigments or other approved components.

Yaseen Construction Products sources solvent-free epoxy resin systems for industrial flooring contractors, coating specialists, concrete repair companies, construction chemical manufacturers and project procurement teams.

What Is Solvent Free Epoxy Resin?

Solvent-free epoxy resin is an epoxy material formulated without conventional solvent dilution, according to the manufacturer’s declared product composition.

Many construction-grade epoxy systems are supplied as:

• Component A: Epoxy resin.

• Component B: Compatible hardener.

Other systems may contain additional components such as fillers or aggregates.

After correct mixing, the resin and hardener undergo a chemical curing reaction.

The resulting material’s performance depends on the resin chemistry, hardener, formulation, mixing ratio and curing conditions.

Types of Solvent Free Epoxy Resin

Bisphenol-A Based Epoxy Resin

Bisphenol-A based epoxy resins are widely used in industrial coatings, flooring and adhesive formulations.

Their properties depend on molecular weight, epoxy equivalent weight and the selected curing system.

Bisphenol-F Based Epoxy Resin

Bisphenol-F based epoxy resins are available for formulations requiring particular viscosity or performance characteristics.

Actual viscosity and chemical resistance depend on the complete formulation.

Modified Solvent-Free Epoxy Resin

Modified epoxy resins may contain reactive diluents, flexibilisers or other formulation components.

These additives can affect:

• Viscosity.

• Flexibility.

• Working time.

• Chemical resistance.

• Mechanical properties.

• Curing characteristics.

A reactive diluent is not necessarily equivalent to a volatile solvent.

Solvent-Free Epoxy Flooring Resin

• Packaging.

• Project quantity.

For structural bonding or specialised industrial exposure, the complete system must be approved.

Packaging and Material Consumption

Solvent-free epoxy resin is commonly supplied in containers, pails, drums or pre-proportioned kits.

Consumption depends on the intended application.

For a nominal 100% solids coating:

Theoretical consumption (kg/m²) = Applied thickness (mm) × Mixed density (kg/litre)

For example, a 1 mm layer with an assumed mixed density of 1.4 kg/litre requires approximately 1.4 kg/m² before waste.

For encapsulation:

Material required (kg) = Cavity volume (litres) × Mixed density (kg/litre)

Actual consumption must follow the selected product’s declared yield, solids content and application method.
