- Catalysis Information
- CYMEL® U-93-210 Resin may not need the addition of an acid catalyst to the formulation to obtain effective cure.
- In many instances the acidity of other formulation components is sufficient to catalyze the reaction.
- If catalyst addition is required, then 0.5%-1.0% of either CYCAT® 4040 catalyst or CYCAT 296-9 catalyst, based on total binder solids, is recommended for bake schedules of ~125°C for 15 minutes.
- Higher concentrations are required for lower temperature cure.
- Backbone Polymer Selection
- CYMEL® U-93-210 Resin not only reacts with the hydroxyl and carboxyl functionalities of the other binders in the formulation, but it also has a tendency for self-condensation.
- Therefore, its practical equivalent weight on a solids basis is typically 200 - 280.
- The resulting films are harder and more resistant to chemical attack with increasing levels of CYMEL® U-93-210 Resin, but they may also be more brittle.
- The optimum level of the resin in a given formulation should be determined experimentally.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- CYMEL® U-93-210 Resin has a shelf life of minimum 180 days from date of manufacture when stored at temperatures below 32°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 polymerization.
