Liquid and Solid Epoxy Resins Production
This report presents the economics of Liquid and Solid Epoxy Resins production from epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A (BPA) considering a United States-based facility. In this process, epichlorohydrin and BPA are reacted in the presence of an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to form Liquid Epoxy Resin. The resulting resin is purified and further reacted with BPA to produce the Solid Epoxy Resin. Part of the Liquid Epoxy Resin obtained is also sold as co-product.

Epoxy Phenol Novolac Resin Production
This report presents a techno-economic study of a process for Epoxy Phenol Novolac Resin production from phenol, formaldehyde and epichlorohydrin in a plant constructed in the United States. The process examined comprises two main steps: condensation of phenol and formaldehyde to produce phenol novolac resin; and (2) epoxidation of the phenol novolac resin with epichlorohydrin to form Epoxy Phenol Novolac Resin.
