Epoxy can't be microwaved to speed up it setting. It is not a good idea to put it in the microwave at any time. The best idea with epoxy resin is to let it harden naturally and slowly. This is the best way to achieve full strength and adhesion.
RTR Pipe(Reinforced Thermosetting Resin pipe) is a kind of composite thermosetting plastic pipe,combing Resin with Fiberglass Roving.In fact,the RTR pipe have a more approperiate name as GRE(Glass Reinforced Epoxy) Pipe, since that uses Epoxy Resin instead of Polyester.GRE Pipe have much superior properties than common RTR Pipe, especially in properties of high pressure resistant.
Cast-resin power transformers encase the windings in epoxy resin. These transformers simplify installation since they are dry, without cooling oil, and so require no fire-proof vault for indoor installations. The epoxy protects the windings from dust and corrosive atmospheres. However, because the molds for casting the coils are only available in fixed sizes, the design of the transformers is less flexible, which may make them more costly if customized features (voltage, turns ratio, taps) are required.
These are plastics which are softening while temperature increases. Such property makes forming of end products easy. Examples are: Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polystyrene, Polytetrafluoroethylene also known as Teflon, Polyvinyl chloride (PCV) to name few popular.
Epoxy resins are used with aggregate (silica sand) to produce epoxy mortar or epoxy concrete, which is used for structural repairs of concrete.
