Epoxy Systems and Versatic™ Monomers for Decorative and Topcoats

For light duty cement floors, a pigmented or transparent epoxy glaze coating can be used to protect the floor from oils and chemicals, or simply obtain a dust-free surface. Hexion offers a variety of chemistries to achieve such coatings.

A wide range of EPIKOTE™ epoxy resins and EPIKURE™ curing agents for:

Waterborne and high-solids, solvent-free coatings
For gloss white, clear or tinted coatings
Acid, solvent or water resistance
Low-viscosity to high-build coatings
High flexibility
Impact resistance
Fast cure

EPONEX™ Resin 1510, a unique cycloaliphatic resin for:

Ambient or heat-curing coatings
Good UV resistance,
Low yellowing and
Excellent gloss retention.
