Material Features

Epoxy resins are synthetic compounds of oligomers. This material is not used in its "pure" form. Its properties are revealed only after contact with a hardener.

This material is not used in its "pure" form.

By changing the combinations of the main components, resins with different characteristics can be made.

  • solid;
  • liquid;
  • high strength;
  • rubber-like and others.

After this, the product can be used for its intended purpose.

The scope of application of epoxy resin depends on its modification. The list and features of the latter are given in the table.

Modification type Characteristics
Chemical To obtain it, various chemicals are added to the resins and come into contact with them (polyester alcohols and others). These components change the characteristics of the main ingredient.
Physical The modification is obtained by adding a substance to the resins that does not interact with them.

An epoxy resin table is made by applying a synthetic material to a wooden base. The result is a product that is highly resistant to chemicals.

During the process of creating the structure, it is important to prepare the wooden surface by removing dirt from it.

In the future, the surface of the table top will be covered with air bubbles.

To make a table from epoxy resin, in addition to preparing the wooden base, it is necessary to mix the synthetic material and the hardener. The composition characteristics depend on the ratio of both components. Excessive or insufficient content of the hardener helps to reduce:

  • product strength;
  • resistance to chemicals and water.

When choosing an epoxy resin table, you should pay attention to the presence of bubbles.

In this case, the excess hardener comes out of the resin. In most cases, in the process of manufacturing various products using this material, the ratio of the original components is 1:1 or 1:2.

At the end of the preparatory stage, the epoxy composition (resin and hardener) is mixed, to which paints and other components are added if desired.

Types of products

Tables made of epoxy resin differ from each other in appearance and characteristics of the synthetic material. The latter can be cold or hot cured. For the manufacture of tables from epoxy resin at home, the first type of substance is mainly used.

During the hardening process, the synthetic composition practically does not shrink.

Advantages and disadvantages

Epoxy resin tables have the following advantages over standard wooden structures:

  • have a unique appearance;
  • waterproof;
  • are not subject to abrasive influences;
  • unlimited possibilities for design solutions.

The resulting substance is applied to the wooden surface.

During the hardening process, the synthetic composition practically does not shrink. Tables made of epoxy resin can be made using additional materials:

  • phosphorescent and other paint;
  • rubber;
  • wine bottle corks and so on.
Preparing the table before pouring resin
For making epoxy resin tables at home, the first type of substance is mainly used.

Among the disadvantages of epoxy resin tables, their higher cost should be highlighted. Depending on the type of construction, size and design, the price of covering one product takes several dozen liters of synthetic material.

To remove any air bubbles that may appear, you should heat the surface with a hair dryer.

When choosing a table made of epoxy resin, you should pay attention to the presence of bubbles. They appear due to non-compliance with the technology of manufacturing the product and negatively affect its characteristics.

In the process of creating the structure, it is important to prepare the wooden surface by removing dirt from it. After that, the material should be primed, as the resin is well absorbed into its pores. In the future, the surface of the tabletop will be covered with air bubbles.

Finally, the table top is sanded and polished.

At the end of the preparatory stage, the epoxy composition (resin and hardener) is mixed, to which paints and other components are added if desired. The resulting substance is applied to the wooden surface. It takes about 15 minutes for complete hardening. To remove any air bubbles that appear, the surface should be heated with a building hair dryer.

General principles of making epoxy countertops
An epoxy resin table is made by applying a synthetic material to a wooden base.

Finally, the tabletop is sanded and polished. It takes about 7 days to make the entire structure, during which time the material gains strength. After that, the product can be used for its intended purpose.
