Many skateboarders who skateboard for a long time will find that when they buy the board, sometimes they will get a more elastic board, and sometimes, they will get a more bulky and elastic board. So what's the reason for all this?

What's the Epoxy Resin?

Epoxy Resin, is A common thermosetting resin, the most common on the market is bisphenol A type epoxy resin. Because of its active physical and chemical properties, the material has many functions and a wide range of uses. It is most commonly found in electronics factories and construction sites around us, used as adhesives and paints. And why I'm talking about this particular material today is because in many high-quality skateboard factories, maple chips are bonded with epoxy resin.

The Characteristics of Epoxy Resin

The role of epoxy resin in the skateboard is mainly to adhere to the wood layer, compared with the common water-based glue, its waterproof properties and high temperature resistance are more able to combine, and the paste strength is industrial. The use of epoxy resin in the production process will be more durable, and the overall weight will be lighter than that of the board with ordinary glue. And thanks to the epoxy resin bonding the wood pieces to maintain the elasticity of the wood, the board surface also provides an excellent spot effect.

Scope of Application of Epoxy Resin

Because the applicability of epoxy resin itself is very good, in addition to being used in the production of skateboards, it is often used by some home design enthusiasts to make use of it to make beautiful, strong and durable furniture, such as tables and chairs. Many home experts like to use shredded wood and epoxy resin mixed to make some indoor art ornaments, and can quickly form a bonding effect within an hour. Sure enough, epoxy resin and wood are a very good combination in any aspect!
