Q1: What is the primary function of EPIKOTE 874L-X-90 in waterborne coating systems?
A: EPIKOTE 874L-X-90 serves as a reactive epoxy resin component that enhances crosslink density, chemical resistance, and adhesion in waterborne two-component (2K) epoxy coatings—particularly where low VOC content and improved handling safety are required.
Q2: Can EPIKOTE 874L-X-90 be used with standard amine hardeners?
A: Yes—it is formulated for compatibility with common water-dispersible or water-soluble polyamine hardeners. Optimal performance is achieved when paired with Hexion’s recommended amine curing agents designed for waterborne epoxy systems.
Q3: How does EPIKOTE 874L-X-90 differ from conventional solvent-based epoxy resins?
A: Unlike solvent-based counterparts, this grade is supplied as a stable aqueous dispersion, eliminating the need for organic solvents during formulation. It offers reduced inhalation exposure risk, lower regulatory reporting burden, and simplified ventilation requirements without compromising core epoxy performance attributes.
Q4: Is EPIKOTE 874L-X-90 suitable for food-contact or potable water applications?
A: While not pre-approved for direct food contact or drinking water systems, it may be incorporated into formulations intended for such uses—subject to full end-product evaluation and compliance with applicable regional regulations by the final formulator or applicator.
