CYCAT®

CYCAT® 296-9 is an unique acid catalyst developed to accelerate the cure of Cymel amino resins at normal baking temperatures, and to permit the cure of clear finishes and enamels within relatively low temperature ranges.

CYCAT® 4045 CATALYST is an amine blocked para-toluene sulfonic acid catalyst. It is recommended for accelerating the cure response of amino crosslinking resins while providing improved formulation package stability compared with the un-blocked para-toluene sulfonic acid CYCAT® 4045 CATALYST It is especially recommended for use with highly alkylated amino crosslinking resins. It provides excellent stability in high solids and waterborne systems, and in the latter it can be added without causing binder precipitation, which can often occur due to a drop in pH.

CYCAT® 600A is an organic acid catalyst recommended to accelerate the crosslinking reaction of amino resins with polymers containing hydroxyl, carboxyl, or amide functionality. CYCAT® 600A is soluble in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, ketones, alcohols, glycol ethers and water. It may be used as a replacement for less soluble acid catalysts, such as para-toluene sulfonic acid, in low alcohol-containing formulations. For formulation of 1K systems, CYCAT® 600A should be blocked with an appropriate amine, such as AMP (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol).
