CYMEL® 1170 resin is a highly butylated glycoluril crosslinker designed for use in both water and organo-soluble coating systems. Its superior adhesion relative to existing melamine and benzoguanamine crosslinkers provides increased corrosion resistance and flexibility. The better adhesion is not lost after postforming of parts and exposure of the stressed coating to humidity, steam, dry heat, or weather. This feature makes CYMEL® 1170 resin a good candidate for coil of metal decoration enamels and primers. In addition, CYMEL® 1170 resin releases significantly lower amounts of formaldehyde during the baking process compared to other amino resins
