Anti‐Corrosive Applications of ‘Epikote’ Resins Available to Purchase

The development of ‘Epikote’ resins, which have become freely available in Britain during the past two years, has led to important advances in the formulation of anti‐corrosive coatings. The resins, produced by Shell, are of the epoxide type and represent a new development in the synthetic resin field. They are based on two chemicals, epichlorhydrin and diphenylolpropane, derived from petroleum.
