Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Data
- CYMEL U-1054 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.
- It has good compatibility over a broad range of polymer backbone resins providing films with very good flow, gloss, film hardness, and adhesion properties on metal substrates.
- Although the optimum level of CYMEL U-1054 resin in a given formulation should be determined experimentally, ratios between 25% and 35%, based on resin solids, are typically most effective.
- Catalysis Information
- CYMEL U-1054 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® 4040 catalyst or CYCAT 296-9 catalyst based on total resin solids is recommended.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- CYMEL U-1054 resin has a shelf life of 365 days from date of manufacture when stored at temperatures below 32°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 warming, however, care should be taken to avoid excessive localized heating as this can cause irreversible viscosity increase.
