The most common epoxy resins are based on reacting Epichlorohydrin (ECH) with bisphenol A, resulting in a different chemical substance known as bisphenol A di glycidyl ether (commonly known as BADGE or DGEBA) Increasing the ratio of bisphenol A to Epichlorohydrin during manufacture produces higher molecular weight linear polyether with glycidyl end groups, which are semi-solid to hard crystalline materials at room temperature depending on the molecular weight achieved.
