In most cases, resins are the result of a chemical reaction between epichlorohydrin and bisphenol-A. Overall, the creation of epoxy resin is part of an industry that generates over $15 billion US Dollars annually. Epoxy resins have many different uses. For example, resins that are cured through exposure to ultraviolet light are commonly used in fiber optics, optoelectronics, and dentistry. Industrial tooling applications use them to make laminates, castings, fixtures, and molds.
Under a graduated repayment plan, payments start out low and increase during the course of the repayment period. The payments usually increase every two years. For FFEL Loans and Direct Loans that entered repayment on or after July 1, 2006, the loan still must be paid over a period of 10 years.
Each year, a borrowerâs monthly payments are calculated based on the borrowerâs adjusted gross income, family size, and the total amount of his or her federal student loans. The maximum repayment period is 25 years and if the loan(s) are not fully repaid within 25 years, the unpaid portion will be discharged.
