- Formulation Stability
- The stability of formulated systems containing CYMEL® 1141 Resin can be enhanced by the addition of alcohols, amines or a combination of these.
- Low molecular weight primary alcohols such as methanol and n-butanol are most effective.
- Recommended amines are dimethylethanolamine (DMEA), triethylamine (TEA), or 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) at a concentration of 0.5-1.0% on total binder solids.
- Package stability can also be enhanced by the use of a blocked acid catalyst such as CYCAT 4045 catalyst.
- For waterborne systems a pH of 7.5-8.5 should be maintained for adequate stability.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Catalysis Information
- CYMEL® 1141 Resin will respond best to sulfonic acid catalysts, like CYCAT® 4040 catalyst or the amine-blocked version, CYCAT 4045 catalyst. Generally, 0.5 to 1.0% catalyst solution on total binder solids of the formulation is sufficient to provide good cure at baking schedules of 20 minutes at 120°C to 160°C.
- Higher concentrations might be necessary if there are basic pigments or additives present in the formulation.
- Waterborne systems generally require temperatures of 150°C and higher to effect cure.
- Backbone Polymer Selection
- CYMEL® 1141 Resin contains mainly methoxymethyl and butoxymethyl functionalities making it a very effective crosslinker for backbone polymer resins containing hydroxyl, amide, or carboxyl functional groups, such as found on alkyd, polyester or acrylic resins.
- CYMEL® 1141 Resin is compatible with a wide range of backbone polymers providing films with superior adhesion and resistance properties.
- The effective equivalent weight of CYMEL® 1141 Resin typically ranges from 150-250 g/eq, however, its optimum loading should be determined experimentally for each formulation with consideration of the performance properties to be optimized.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- CYMEL® 1141 Resin has a shelf life of 1080 days from the date of manufacture when stored at temperatures below 32°C.
- Although lower temperatures are not detrimental to stability, its viscosity will increase, possibly making the resin difficult to pump or pour.
- The viscosity will reduce again on warming, but care should be taken to avoid excessive local heat, as this can cause an irreversible increase in viscosity.
