CYMEL® 659E is a benzoguanamine-based chemical used in crosslinking applications.

CYMEL® 1123 Resin is a highly methylated/ethylated benzoguanamine resin developed primarily for use as a crosslinking agent in electrocoating and conventional coatings requiring high detergent and chemical resistance. Its excellent balance between adhesion and film flexibility, especially after several cure cycles, makes CYMEL® 1123 Resin particularly well suited for can coating applications. While CYMEL® 1123 Resin is insoluble in water, it shows excellent compatibility with water soluble backbone polymers and provides very good stability in pH-buffered alkaline waterborne formulations. The poor light resistance properties of benzoguanamine makes CYMEL® 1123 Resin unsuitable for exterior applications.

CYMEL® 1125 resin is a highly methylated/ethylated, carboxyl-modified benzoguanamine crosslinker supplied in 2-butoxy ethanol. It is especially designed for electro-deposition primer formulations requiring excellent corrosion and detergent resistance. The structure of CYMEL® 1125 resin offers superior adhesion to metal substrates. CYMEL® 1125 resin can be used in a wide range of general purpose industrial finishes. However, because CYMEL® 1125 resin contains chelating groups which can form colored compounds with heavy metal ions such as iron and zinc, it is recommended for use in only dark single coat applications or primers, and not in pastel colors. Benzoguanamine resins have poor resistance to UV light, hence CYMEL® 1125 is not suitable for exterior applications

CYMEL® 5010 Resin is a partially n-butylated benzoguanamine resin supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and xylene and designed for solvent-based coatings. Like other benzoguanamine resins, CYMEL® 5010 Resin imparts excellent adhesion and chemical resistance to the coating, but without the need for an external catalyst in the formulation. Because of the limited light resistance properties of benzoguanamine, CYMEL® 5010 Resin is not suitable for exterior applications.
