What Does EEW Stand For?

EEW stands for Epoxy Equivalent Weight

EEW, or Epoxy Equivalent Weight, refers to the mass of epoxy resin that corresponds to one equivalent of epoxide functionality in a chemical reaction. It is an important parameter in the formulation of epoxy systems, as it helps in calculating the required amounts of hardeners and additives to achieve desired properties in cured epoxy products. Lower EEW values indicate a higher functionality of the resin, which can influence the mechanical strength, thermal stability, and overall performance of the final material.
