Hexion HELOXY 68 Waterborne Epoxy Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of HELOXY 68 in waterborne epoxy systems?

A: HELOXY 68 functions as a reactive diluent and co-resin that improves compatibility, reduces viscosity, and enhances film formation in waterborne epoxy dispersions—without compromising crosslink density or final coating performance.


Q2: Can HELOXY 68 be used in high-solids or low-VOC formulations?

A: Yes—HELOXY 68 is specifically designed for waterborne systems and contributes to VOC reduction. It enables formulators to achieve lower overall volatile content while maintaining workability and cure response in environmentally compliant coatings.


Q3: How does HELOXY 68 affect pot life and cure kinetics in two-component waterborne epoxy systems?

A: HELOXY 68 typically extends working time slightly compared to conventional epoxy resins due to its lower reactivity and hydrophilic character, while still supporting efficient ambient- or elevated-temperature cure when paired with appropriate amine hardeners.


Q4: Is HELOXY 68 compatible with common waterborne epoxy curing agents?

A: Yes—it demonstrates broad compatibility with aliphatic and cycloaliphatic polyamine dispersions, as well as water-reducible amine adducts commonly used in industrial maintenance and protective coatings.
