Processing Information
  • For combinations of phenolic- and high molecular weight epoxide resins we recommend to add 2 - 5 % (calculated on solid resin). Since phenolic resins are often combined with other coating raw materials, one should always find out the optimal content of CYCATl XK 406 N by trials.
  • Overdosage of CYCAT XK 406 N has a negative influence onto the storage stability of the lacquers containing it.

Comparative Data

CYCAT® XK 406 N is compatible with high molecular weight epoxide resins and most resoles used in such combinations. The Phenodur grades PR 285 and PR 373 are not compatible with CYCAT® XK 406 N.

Product Properties
  • CYCAT® XK 406 N is a phosphoric acid derivate. CYCAT® XK 406 N increases the crosslinking speed of heat curing coating systems based on e.g., phenolic/epoxide resin combinations. A significant improvement of adhesion properties is often seen in connection with the use of CYCAT® XK 406 N.
  • Furthermore, the use of CYCAT® XK 406 N often leads to an improved sulfur staining resistance of interior can coating systems based on phenolic/epoxide resin combinations.
