Hexion EPIKOTE 828 Epoxy Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the typical role of EPIKOTE 828 in epoxy formulations?

A: EPIKOTE 828 serves as a versatile liquid bisphenol-A based epoxy resin, commonly used as the primary resin component in two-component systems. It provides excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength when cured with appropriate hardeners such as amines or anhydrides.


Q2: Is EPIKOTE 828 suitable for high-performance coatings and composites?

A: Yes — it is widely employed in industrial maintenance coatings, marine topcoats, wind turbine blade matrices, and structural composite laminates due to its balanced reactivity, low viscosity, and ability to deliver high glass transition temperatures and toughness after cure.


Q3: How should EPIKOTE 828 be stored to maintain stability and performance?

A: Store in tightly sealed containers under dry, cool conditions (ideally below 30 °C) and away from moisture, direct sunlight, and strong oxidizing agents. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures or humidity may lead to viscosity increase or gelation over time.


Q4: Can EPIKOTE 828 be modified or blended with other resins?

A: Yes — it is frequently blended with reactive diluents, flexibilizers, or other epoxy resins (e.g., novolacs or cycloaliphatics) to tailor viscosity, flexibility, thermal resistance, or cure speed. Compatibility should be verified experimentally for each specific formulation.
