EPIKURE™ Waterborne Curing Agents are key products to achieve high performance levels of novel Waterborne systems. Hexion has a continued research effort in the field and offers a range of EPIKURE Waterborne Curing Agents in evolution and in support of the development of new WB technologies. Consider the development of a next generation of metal primers for the transportation industry and the development of flooring systems with superior resistance to osmotic blisters.

 See the "Technical Data Sheets" section for information on the individual products.

Application

 EPIKURE Waterborne Curing Agents are used in combination with EPI-REZ Waterborne resins or in some cases directly with liquid epoxy resins. These combinations can generally be diluted to a desired solids level simply with water addition. Due to their high degree of compatibility with many components, EPI-REZ waterborne resins and / or curing agents can also be formulated in many ways with wetting agents, additives, cosolvents and coupling agents.

 EPIKURE Waterborne Curing Agents can be used in most traditional applications such as in flooring, adhesives, anticorrosive primers and textile binders to reduce or eliminate Volatile Organic Compounds without sacrificing performance or to offer superior adhesion or osmotic blisters resistance.

See the "Applications & Formulations" section for Starting Formulations and additional information.
