Applications & Uses
- Dosage Information
- CYCAT® 4045 CATALYST contains 20% active acid and has an equivalent acid number of 60-70.
- Therefore, it is 50% less active than the un-blocked CYCAT 4040 catalyst.
- Therefore, in comparison with CYCAT 4040 catalyst it is recommended that twice the level of CYCAT® 4045 CATALYST be used to provide approximately the same cure response.
- In systems containing highly alkylated amino crosslinking resins such as CYMEL® 303 LF resin in combination with hydroxyl or carboxy functional acrylic or polyester resins, the following starting point levels of CYCAT® 4045 CATALYST are recommended:
Polymer type Cure Temperature (°C) Catalyst Level (% catalyst solution based on total resin solids) R-OH >150
125-150
110-1251.0
2.0
4.0R-COOH 150-175
125-1501.0
2.0- Typical Coating Characteristics
- System: White high solids acrylic enamel, 73% NV by wt, Pigment/Binder=80/100
- Binder:: Acryloid AT-400 (Product of Rohm & Haas) acrylic resin/CYMEL 303 resin= 80/20 (solids wt ratio)
- Catalyst: Equivalent to 1% CYCAT 4040 catalyst on TRS
- Cure: 20 minutes at 125°C

Technical Details & Test Data
- Catalysis Information
- In order to prevent recrystallization of the acid, a sufficiently high level of alcohol should be present in the total solvent system of the formulation.
- Recrystallized acid can cause a reduction in cure response and may create local areas of high acidity that could cause the formation of gel structures.
- Therefore, it is suggested that CYCAT® 4045 CATALYST be diluted approximately 1:1 with an alcohol before adding to the final formulation.
