Epoxy polymers (Resins): Epoxy resins are often used as the binder in industrial coatings (primers). They give the paint an excellent adhesion together with high resistance to chemicals (corrosion), and physical resistance necessary, for instance, on ships and chemical storage tanks.

The epoxy resins are made from 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane and substituted phenols, such as Bisphenol A:

The value of n can be controlled to give a range of resins varying from viscous liquids to solids with a high melting point. Epoxy resins can be carried in solvents such as aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones and esters (solvent-borne paints) or as dispersions in a water (water-borne paints) as true emulsions. They are not normally used in topcoats for outdoors because they are susceptible to UV degradation, but they also make excellent interior coatings and also exterior primers.
