Climatic Resistance of Epoxy Polymers with Improved UV Resistance

The possibility of increasing the climatic resistance of epoxy polymers through the use of a hardener with high resistance to the action of UV radiation, as one of the main environmental factors, has been analyzed. The differences in the sorption and elastic-strength characteristics of samples of epoxy polymers based on hardeners Etal-45M and Etal-2MK, exposed on the test benches of the Ecological and Meteorological Laboratory of Ogarev Mordovia State University for 12 months, established. The possibility of using hardener Etal-2MK to obtain epoxy polymers with high stability properties under environmental conditions has been shown.
