- Formulation Stability
- The stability of baking enamels containing CYMEL® U-1050-10 Resin can be enhanced by the addition of alcohols, amines, or a combination of these. Low molecular weight primary alcohols, such as 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. Ambient cure systems are usually stabilized only by the addition of adequate amounts of primary alcohol, such as ethanol or butanol.

- Catalysis Information
- CYMEL® U-1050-10 Resin does not need the addition of an acid catalyst to the formulation to obtain effective cure in baking enamels. In many instances, the acidity of the backbone polymer in the formulation is sufficient to catalyze the reaction.
- If catalyst addition is required, then 0.5 - 1.0% of CYCAT® 4040 catalyst based on total resin solids is recommended for baking schedules of ~125°C for 15 minutes. For wood coating formulations, 6 - 10% CYCAT 4040 catalyst on total resin solids of the formulation is sufficient to obtain fast drying behavior at room temperature.
- Backbone Polymer Selection
- CYMEL® U-1050-10 Resin is a very effective crosslinking agent for backbone polymer resins containing hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amide functional groups, such as those found on alkyd, polyester, or acrylic resins.
- CYMEL® U-1050-10 Resin has a high reactivity and a high tendency for self-condensation, providing fast-drying films with very good gloss, hardness, stackability, and adhesion properties.
- Although the optimum level of CYMEL® U-1050-10 Resin resin in a given formulation should be determined experimentally, ratios of 25-35%, based on resin solids, are typically most effective over a range of polymer backbone resins.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- CYMEL® U-1050-10 Resin has a shelf life of 48 months from the date of manufacture when stored at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C. Although low 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 polymerization.
