- Catalysis Information
- CYMEL MB-98 resin responds best to sulfonic acid catalysts, like CYCAT® 4040 catalyst.
- Generally, 6-10% CYCAT 4040 catalyst on total resin solids of the formulation is sufficient to obtain fast drying behavior at room temperature.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Data
- CYMEL MB-98 resin is a very effective crosslinking agent for backbone polymer resins containing hydroxyl functional groups, such as alkyd, polyester or acrylic resins.
- The optimum level of CYMEL MB-98 resin in an acid curing wood coating formulation should be in the range of 25-35% on total resin solids if used as the sole crosslinker.
- Loadings of 5-10% on total resin solids is recommended when used in combination with a urea resin.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- CYMEL MB-98 resin has a shelf life of 4 years from date of manufacture when stored at temperatures between 5°C and 32°C.
- Although lower temperatures are not detrimental to stability, the viscosity of the product will increase making the resin more difficult to pump or pour
- Product viscosity can be returned to normal by gentle re-warming, however, care should be taken to avoid excessive localized heating as this can cause an irreversible increase in viscosity.
