- Members of public are everyday users of the amine-epoxy chemistry commonly referred to as ‘two-part epoxy’ in the market place. For instance, a construction worker uses it to form a protective layer on wooden floors or to cover cracks or to give a glossy finish to a tabletop in the kitchen. Children use its thermosetting nature to fabricate pendants and other ornamental items.
