Products

CYMEL® 1172 resin is an unalkylated glycoluril crosslinker supplied in water at 45% solids. It is designed to be used for crosslinking aqueous neutral or acidic hydroxyl or amide functional polymers and combines excellent stability at acidic pH (as low as 4) with excellent reactivity. CYMEL® 1172 resin cannot be used in amine neutralized or basic coating systems because of the potential problems of demethylolation of the compound and a significant decrease in cure response.

EBECRYL® TMPTMA is a trifunctional methacrylate monomer that will readily copolymerize with other unsaturated compounds using radical curing mechanisms. Polymerization can be accomplished thermally using peroxide or azo type radical initiators, with ultraviolet (UV) or visible light using radical photoinitiators, or with high energy electrons (EB). EBECRYL® TMPTMA is typically copolymerized with other unsaturated compounds such as vinyl, methacrylate and acrylate functional materials to increase crosslinking and improve cured polymer properties such as hardness, chemical resistance and thermal resistance.

CYMEL® U-65 Resin is a high solids, methylated urea resin designed for use in both water and organo-soluble systems as a crosslinking agent for a variety of polymers that contain hydroxyl functionality.

CYMEL® 373 resin is a partially methylated melamine supplied in water. Its high reactivity combined with water solubility makes CYMEL® 373 resin suitable for a wide range of fast-curing waterborne industrial coating formulations.

CYMEL® 328 resin is a methylated high imino melamine crosslinker supplied in water. Its high reactivity and low formaldehyde release during cure makes CYMEL® 328 resin suitable for a wide range of fast-curing waterborne industrial coating formulations, such as can and coil coatings, OEM and foil coating applications

CYMEL® 380 resin is a partially methylated melamine crosslinker supplied in isobutanol and is a lower solids version of CYMEL® 370 resin. CYMEL® 380 resin is fast reacting and has a high tendency to self-condense resulting in films with high film hardness, gloss, chemical resistance and exterior durability. The high reactivity, combined with high solids content makes CYMEL® 380 resin suitable for a wide range of solventborne and waterborne industrial bake formulations.

PARALOID™ AU-608S Resin are acrylic polyols specifically designed to produce hard, resistant, durable coatings when reacted with aliphatic isocyanates. The exceptional properties of these coatings have led to increased use in such heavy duty maintenance applications as chemical plant storage tanks and offshore rigs and platforms.

CYMEL® 323 is a crosslinking agent that offers fast cure, humidity resistance, improved film hardness, and solvent resistance in CASE ingredients.

CYMEL® 385 Resin is a methylated high imino melamine resin with a low degree of alkylation. Being supplied in water, it is recommended as a crosslinking agent for hydroxyl-containing emulsion polymers and other aqueous systems containing hydroxyl or amide functionality. CYMEL® 385 Resin has a high tendency to self-condense and may be used to increase the hardness and resistance properties of thermoplastic waterborne polymers.

CYMEL® UM-15 resin is a highly methylated urea crosslinker supplied as a liquid at >96% solids. Its high solids combined with very fast cure makes CYMEL® UM-15 resin suitable in high solids, low temperature curing systems, like wood and paper coatings. CYMEL® UM-15 is hydrophilic in nature, completely water soluble, and has very good compatibility with water soluble anionic backbone polymers. This makes CYMEL® UM-15 resin suitable for waterborne applications, like paper and wood coatings, where speed of cure is very important.

UCECOAT® 6569 is a water dilutable aliphatic urethane acrylate oligomer containing approx. 5% water. UCECOAT® 6569 can be used to formulate UV/EB curable waterborne wood coatings as well as screen printing inks and varnishes. Cured films containing UCECOAT® 6569 demonstrate good adhesion to a variety of wood types, along with good flexibility, resistance to yellowing, and resistance to water and solvents. UCECOAT® 6569 based coatings can be re-coated after curing.

CARPOL® EDAP-800 is an ethylenediamine-initiated polyether polyol. The resulting material has a nominal functionality of four and a typical hydroxyl number of 800. This tetrol is polymerized with ethylene and propylene oxides and is autocatalytic due to its amine content. This polyol’s functionality makes it optimal for use in rigid foams as a crosslinking modifier. In addition, CARPOL® EDAP-800 can also be used as a curative for most C.A.S.E. applications.

CYMEL® 370 Resin is a partially methylated melamine crosslinker supplied in iso butanol. Like other high imino resins, CYMEL® 370 Resin is fast reacting and has a high tendency to self-condense resulting in films with high film hardness, gloss, chemical resistance and exterior durability. The high reactivity, combined with high solids content makes CYMEL® 370 Resin suitable for a wide range of solventborne and waterborne industrial bake formulations.

CYMEL® NF 3030 Resin is a formaldehyde-free crosslinking agent supplied in water. It was designed primarily for use in 2 component, ambient or forced cure, water-borne conversion varnishes for industrial wood when formulated with VIACRYL® SC 6834w/42WA amine-free acrylic emulsion. Resulting formulas exhibit superior catalyzed pot life relative to isocyanate-based conversion varnishes. The resulting coatings have excellent appearance, early hardness, resistance properties, and hot/cold cycle flexibility.

CYMEL® 327 resin is a methylated high imino melamine crosslinker supplied in isobutanol. CYMEL® 327 resin is very reactive and has a tendency towards selfcondensation at normal baking temperatures, providing films with very good hardness, gloss, chemical resistance and outdoor durability. Its major advantage relative to other high imino resins is its potential to lower VOC in high solids formulations.
