Technical Details & Test Data
- Catalysis Information
- For ambient or low bake applications, it is recommended to use 1.0% CYCAT® 4040 catalyst based on weight of total binder solids.
- For high bake applications, the addition of catalyst isn’t required as long as the acid number of the primary film former is >5.
- Backbone Polymer Selection
- CYMEL® NF 3030 is an effective crosslinking agent for alkyd, polyester and acrylic polymers containing primary hydroxyl functionality.
- Reactivity with secondary hydroxyl sites is limited under ambient cure.
- CYMEL® NF 3030 has a high Tg and should be paired with softer polyols (Tg < 30°C) to avoid film checking or cracking.
- The equivalent weight of CYMEL® NF 3030 is ~85 g/eq (solids basis).
- Binder ratios can vary from 85/15 to 70/30 depending upon the equivalent weight of the polyol.
