Reinforcing fibers such as glass, graphite and polyamide improve mechanical properties to such an extent that epoxies can be used in many structural applications. Other non-reinforcing fillers include:

Applications

• Electropole

• Powdered metals to improve electrical and thermal conductivity

• Alumina for thermal conductivity

• Silica for cost reduction, and strength enhancement

• Mica – electrical resistance

• Talc and calcium carbonate – cost reduction

• Carbon and graphite powders to increase lubricity
