CYMEL® 5010

CYMEL® 5010 Resin is a partially n-butylated benzoguanamine resin supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and xylene and designed for solvent-based coatings. Like other benzoguanamine resins, CYMEL® 5010 Resin imparts excellent adhesion and chemical resistance to the coating, but without the need for an external catalyst in the formulation. Because of the limited light resistance properties of benzoguanamine, CYMEL® 5010 Resin is not suitable for exterior applications.

Formulation Stability
  • The stability of systems containing CYMEL® 5010 Resin can be enhanced by the addition of primary alcohols, amines, or a combination of these.
  • Low molecular weight primary alcohols such as ethanol and n-butanol are most effective.
  • Recommended amines are TEA, DMEA or 2-AMP at a concentration of 0.5-1.0% on total binder solids.

Catalysis Information
  • CYMEL® 5010 Resin may not require the addition of an acid catalyst to the formulation to obtain effective cure.
  • In many instances, the acidity of the backbone polymer in the formulation is sufficient to catalyze the reaction under normal baking conditions (15-20 minutes at 120-150°C).
  • If catalyst addition is required, then 0.5-1.0% of CYCAT® 296-9 catalyst based on total resin solids is recommended.
Backbone Polymer Selection
  • CYMEL® 5010 Resin contains a combination of butoxymethyl, methylol and imino functionalities, making it a very effective crosslinker for backbone polymer resins containing hydroxyl, carboxyl, or amide functional groups, such as those found on alkyd, polyester or acrylic resins.
  • In addition to crosslinking, CYMEL® 5010 Resin will self-condense readily resulting in films with excellent film hardness.
  • Although the optimum level of CYMEL® 5010 Resin should be determined experimentally, ratios of 25 to 35% based on resin solids are typically most effective.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • CYMEL® 5010 Resin has a shelf life of 3 years from 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.
