Hexion Waterborne Epoxy Curing Agent EPIKURE 8290-Y-60 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application area for EPIKURE 8290-Y-60?

A: EPIKURE 8290-Y-60 is specifically designed as a waterborne epoxy curing agent for high-performance industrial maintenance and protective coatings, including metal primers, tank linings, and concrete floor systems where low VOC content and good pot life are required.


Q2: How does EPIKURE 8290-Y-60 differ from conventional amine-based epoxy hardeners?

A: Unlike traditional solventborne amines, EPIKURE 8290-Y-60 is a water-dispersible, low-odor curing agent formulated to provide improved compatibility with waterborne epoxy resins, reduced volatility, and enhanced film formation without compromising crosslink density or chemical resistance.


Q3: Can EPIKURE 8290-Y-60 be used in food-contact or potable water applications?

A: EPIKURE 8290-Y-60 is not pre-approved for direct food-contact or potable water applications. Formulators must conduct full regulatory evaluation—including migration testing and compliance verification—based on final cured film composition and intended end-use conditions.


Q4: What are the recommended storage conditions for this product?

A: Store in original unopened containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, protected from freezing and prolonged exposure to elevated heat or direct sunlight. Once opened, ensure tight closure and use within a reasonable timeframe under controlled ambient conditions.
