Comments

HELOXY 8

Alkyl C12-C14 glycidyl ether

liquid

50*

6 – 10

280 – 295

Provides good dilution efficiency and has low volatility and odor.

HELOXY 11

Neodecanoic acid glycidyl ester

liquid

100*

5 – 9

230 – 260

Good dilution efficiency and excellent water resistance characteristics. Helps to decrease the tendency of the epoxy resin to crystallize. Lower volatility.**

HELOXY 61

Butyl glycidyl ether

liquid

1

1 – 2

145 – 155

Maximum viscosity reduction with minimum loss of properties, good substrate wetting and adhesion.

HELOXY 62

Cresyl glycidyl ether

liquid

2

5 – 10

175 – 195

Low volatility and good retention of tensile properties, moisture- and chemical resistant.

HELOXY 68

Diglycidyl ether of neopentyl glycol

liquid

1

13 – 15

130 – 145

Low volatility modifier that provides good viscosity reduction with minimum loss of performance properties.

HELOXY AQ

p-tert-Butylphenyl glycidyl ether 

liquid

100*

20 – 30

215 – 235

Provides moderate dilution efficiency, low volatility and good electrical properties.

HELOXY BD

Diglycidyl ether of 1,4-butanediol

liquid

1

10 – 20

124 – 137

Offers good viscosity reduction with minimum loss of performance.

HELOXY HD

Diglycidyl ether of 1,6-hexanediol

liquid

50*

14 – 25

135 – 155

Reduce viscosity while maintaining most cured state properties, improved wetting characteristics.

HELOXY 107

Diglycidyl ether of cyclohexane dimethanol 

liquid

1

55 – 75

155 – 165

Offers moderate viscosity reduction with minimum loss of properties.

HELOXY 505

Polyglycidy ether of castorl oil

liquid

6

250 – 500

500 – 650

Provides good flexibility and water resistance.
