First Paragraph

EPOXY RESINS HAVE BECOME technologically important materials that find extensive application in high-performance coatings, adhesives, and reinforced plastics. Almost since their commercial introduction in 1950, epoxy resin systems have been used in protective coatings. Historically, protective coatings were the largest single end use for epoxy resins. Although in recent years the noncoating applications of epoxy resin have been growing, coatings still represent about half of the annual epoxy resin usage.
