Wessex Resins & Adhesives is delighted to announce the launch of a new online store to facilitate ordering the unique range of bio-based epoxy: ENTROPY RESINS. The EU online store has been added to the current North American website entropyresins.com and will support the existing network of distributors and retailers.
ENTROPY RESINS are based upon plant-based formulations, utilising SUPER SAP® technology. By employing green chemistry techniques that require less energy and produce less harmful by-products, the greenhouse gas emissions form the production of the epoxy is reduced by 33% over conventional petroleum-based epoxies.
ENTROPY RESINS are used in a variety of applications, from coating and laminating at room temperature, compression moulding, and casting and embedding to produce water clear, UV-stable finishes. Due to their sustainability credentials, ENTROPY RESINS are used extensively by action sport goods manufacturers for the construction of such items as surf and snowboards. The range is already a firm favourite among makers and creatives who love its usability and physical properties stunning end results can be created with clear casting, like 'river' tables.
