Water Absorption and Dehydration Characteristics of Epoxy Resin in Acid-base Salt Solution
Epoxy resin is used widely in dry-type air-core reactor due to its excellent insulating and sealing properties. However
in humid and hot environment
epoxy resin is prone to absorb water and moisture
which leads to properties deterioration of the material and seriously affects safe and stable operation of equipment. Master the water absorption and dehydration behavior of the material is of great significance to its actual application. Therefore
the water absorption and dehydration properties of epoxy resin in different acid-base salt solutions are studied in this paper.The experimental results show that the water absorption process of epoxy resin in different solutions complies with Fick’s second law; both the water absorption rate and saturated water absorption rate are related to the concentration difference of solution on both sides and the water absorption rate of epoxy resin in deionized water is the highest. The dehydration process is also a kind of osmosis. The dehydration rate of epoxy resin is very fast and the relative equilibrium dehydration rate can reach almost 100%.
