HELOXY™ Epoxy Functional Modifiers

For greater versatility in epoxy performance, Westlake Epoxy offers its line of HELOXY reactive modifiers. These are epoxy functionalized alcohols, diols, polyols and acids that allow formulators to choose among mono-functional and poly-functional glycidyl ethers and flexibilizers for their formulating needs. Westlake Epoxy's HELOXY epoxy functional modifiers can:

Improve cured system flexibility
Increase peel strength
Increase impact strength
Increase filler loading
Improve wetting
Reduce viscosity and surface tension

Westlake Epoxy offers three classes of HELOXY modifiers:

Di-functional HELOXY™ modifiers

Di-functional modifiers such as diglycidyl ethers can enhance epoxy resin processing as well as improving impact and thermal shock resistance.

Mono-functional HELOXY™ modifiers

Mono-functional modifiers are glycidyl ethers primarily utilized as diluents for epoxy resins.

Poly-functional HELOXY™ Modifiers

Poly-functional HELOXY modifiers enhance epoxy resin thermal resistance and mechanical performance.
