Project Overview
The epoxy latex has been operated by emulsifying epoxy resin based on epichlorohydrine and bisphenol and its hardener in the presence of non-ionic surfactant (HLB value > 15). After emulsification, fillers, deforming and wetting agents were added. Formulations have been finalized on the basis of test results. Polymer modified mortar base on epoxy showed better performance as compared to those based on acrylic emulsion with respect to strength , water absorption and impermeability
