Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Data
- CYMEL 1172 resin contains mainly methylol functionalities making it a very effective crosslinker for backbone polymer resins containing hydroxyl, or carboxyl functional groups, such as found in acrylic emulsions.
- CYMEL 1172 resin is not suited for solvent based formulations.
- Although the optimum level of CYMEL 1172 resin in a given formulation should be determined experimentally, a good starting point is 20 to 30% based on total resin solids.
- Catalysis Information
- CYMEL 1172 resin will respond best to sulfonic acid catalysts, like CYCAT® 4040 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 100°C.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- CYMEL 1172 resin has a shelf life of 3 years the date of manufacture when stored at temperatures between 5°C and 30°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.
- Beware of freezing.
