Hexion's epoxy functional product line of HELOXY™ modifiers offers formulators the ability to choose between monofunctional and polyfunctional glycidyl ethers, and flexibilizers for their formulating needs. HELOXY modifiers offer:

HELOXY modifiers are epoxy functionalized alcohols, diols, polyols and acids. Hexion offers three classes of HELOXY Modifiers: monofunctional glycidyl ethers, polyfunctional glycidyl ethers and polyfunctional flexibilizers.

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

The monofunctional HELOXY products include both aliphatics and aromatics and are primarily utilized as diluents for a variety of epoxy resins.

The polyfunctional HELOXY products are aliphatics which provide an increase in the chemical resistance and mechanical performance of the system. The cycloaliphatic modifier offers improved UV resistance when compared to aromatic modifiers, and our trifunctional modifier increases the crosslink density of a system.

The HELOXY modifier products that are flexibilizers can improve wetting performance, offer good color properties for outdoor applications, and can increase the impact strength and toughness of a system.

Application

Areas of application for HELOXY modifiers include coatings, civil engineering, adhesives, FRP applications, potting and molding.

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

Distribution

EPON resin products are available in drum quantities through our extensive distributor network.

Larger quantities are available directly from Hexion by contacting a Customer Service representative.

Product	Description
HELOXY Modifier 8	Monofunctional Aliphatic Glycidyl Ether - Lower volatility and odor.
HELOXY Modifier 61	Monofunctional Aliphatic Glycidyl Ether - [BGE] Maximum viscosity reduction with minimum loss of physical performance. Good substrate wetting. Allows for increased filler loading.
HELOXY Modifier 116	Monofunctional Aliphatic Glycidyl Ether - Good dilution efficiency. Potential substitute for BGE.
HELOXY Modifier 62	Monofunctional Aromatic Glycidyl Ether - Good maintenance of performance at high dilutions. Low volatility.
HELOXY Modifier 64	Monofunctional Aromatic Glycidyl Ether - Moderate dilution efficiency. Chemical intermediate.
HELOXY Modifier 65	Monofunctional Aromatic Glycidyl Ether - Moderate dilution efficiency. Good electrical properties. Low volatility.
HELOXY Modifier 48	Polyfunctional Glycidyl Ether - Trifunctionality increases crosslink density. Maintains or increases reactivity. Relatively efficient viscosity reducer.
HELOXY Modifier 67	Polyfunctional Glycidyl Ether - Superior difunctional viscosity reducer. Low volatility. May be useful in water reducible systems due to some water solubility.
HELOXY Modifier 68	Polyfunctional Glycidyl Ether - Good difunctional viscosity reducer with minimum loss of properties. Low volatility. Most widely used viscosity modifier.
HELOXY Modifier 107	Polyfunctional Glycidyl Ether - Moderate difunctional viscosity reducer with minimum loss of properties. Good for applications requiring minimum deformation under load (i.e., superior creep resistance).
HELOXY Modifier 71	Flexibilizer - Improves impact resistance as well as toughness.
HELOXY Modifier 505	Flexibilizer - Superior water resistance. Low odor. Good exterior color retention.
Nonyl Phenol	Nonylphenol can be used as accelerator with amine curing agents and can offer improved flexibility.
