Key Features
  • CYREZ® 400 offers several advantages over the older hexa methylene tetramine (HEXA or HMT) system.
  • CYREZ® resins are not corrosive to steel cord, polyester cord or metal molds. This property is important when considering adhesion promoters.
  • CYREZ® resins are much more suitable as methylene donors, as opposed to HMT which produces ammonia.
  • When used in conjunction with ALNOVOL® PN 760 or resorcinol, CYREZ® resins offer the ultimate in rubber adhesion giving optimum bonding strength.
Product Benefits
  • No skin irritation.
  • No amine or ammonia by-product
  • Better scorch protection than provided by HMT
  • No corrosive effects on steel and brass/bronze coated steel
  • Ease of handling
  • Low dust level
  • High loading

Applications & Uses

Product Uses

Hexa methoxy methyl melamine (HMMM) as crosslinker for adhesion promoting and reinforcing systems in rubber applications

Product Applications
  • CYREZ® 400 is used in applications as a methylene donor in the "HRH" dry rubber adhesion systems for bonding rubber to organic cord and wire reinforcement materials.
  • To improve adhesion as well as physical properties CYREZ® 400 should be used together with silica in the compound.

Suggested levels of resins are:
CYREZ® 1.5 - 4 phr
ALNOVOL PN 760 1.5 - 3 phr or Resorcinol 1.5 - 3 phr or Resorcinol formaldehyde resin 2 - 4 phr

  • CYREZ® 400 can be used in conjunction with methylene acceptors (ALNOVOL® PN 160 or ALNOVOL® PN 320) in rubber compounds to increase modulus, tensile, stiffness and hardness.
  • The ratio within this dosage should be ALNOVOL : CYREZ® 7:3 (calculated on active).
