ALPEX® CK 450/PAST is a polyisoprene-based binder and crosslinking agent. It is used in coatings such as anti-corrosion and chemical-resistant paints, as well as in tank coatings. Additionally, it is suitable for use in letterpress, offset, and screen printing inks. This product offers excellent chemical resistance, improved gloss, and scratch resistance, while minimizing misting during application.

CYMEL® 304 Resin is a specially alkylated, high solids melamine crosslinking agent designed specifically for industrial wood coating applications. Systems formulated with CYMEL® 304 Resin exhibit excellent catalyzed stability and films develop excellent early hardness, resistance properties, appearance, and cold check resistance. It has very low free formaldehyde and low evolved formaldehyde on cure relative to conventional urea-based formulas.

CYMEL® 250 Resin is a new type of mixalkylated methylated and n-butylated melamine formaldehyde resin with high imino functions. It is designed specifically for automotive coating system and does not require a strong acid catalyst for fast cure response. CYMEL® 250 Resin is similar reactivity to conventional n-butylated melamine resin. A formulation by using CYMEL® 250 Resin can achieve lower VOC, compared to a formulation by using conventional n-butylated melamine formaldehyde resin.

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® 3745N Resin is a highly methylated melamine crosslinker designed for use in both solvent-borne and waterborne industrial finishes. Its high functionality and low tendency to self-condense promotes excellent formulated stability and results in films with very good hardness development, flexibility, formability, and resistance properties making it suitable for a wide range of coating applications, like can and container coatings, foil coatings, automotive coatings and waterborne formulations.

CYMEL® 27-802 resin is a general purpose partially n-butylated melamine resin supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and xylene . CYMEL® 27-802 combines fast curing speed with good resistance properties making it suitable for a wide variety of industrial bake finishes including decorative metal coatings

CYMEL® 350 Resin is a highly methylated, monomeric melamine resin recommended for use in both waterborne and solvent-borne systems. It has very good water solubility properties, which makes it easy to incorporate with excellent stability in emulsion systems, as it remains in the water phase and does not migrate to the polymer phase. Like CYMEL® 350 Resin, it is a very efficient crosslinking agent and is recommended for coil coatings and high solids systems. CYMEL® 350 Resin has a slightly slower cure response than other monomeric methylated melamine resins. This provides excellent flow and levelling characteristics and less solvent popping on cure

CYMEL® U-216-8 resin is a partially n-butylated urea crosslinking agent supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and xylene. It possesses a lower molecular weight than most other butylated ureas, which contributes to its low bulk viscosity and high degree of hydrocarbon tolerance. CYMEL® U-216-8 resin displays excellent compatibility with most hydrophobic resins, such as epoxies, and can contribute to improved leveling and adhesion characteristics. CYMEL® U-216-8 resin is recommended as a crosslinking resin in primer coatings, can coatings, and metal

CYMEL® 3020 resin is a highly alkylated, mixed ether (methyl/n-butyl) melamine crosslinker. Its hydrophobic nature combined with very good film appearance properties makes CYMEL® 3020 resin suitable for automotive topcoat applications. CYMEL® 3020 is insoluble in water but has excellent compatibility with water soluble backbone polymers and provides very good stability in pHbuffered alkaline waterborne formulations.

CYREZ® 966 is a highly methylated melamine crosslinking agent and is the purest form of hexamethoxymethylmelamine available in our product line. Its high degree of alkylation coupled with its high monomer content makes CYREZ® 966 resin an excellent crosslinker for applications where film flexibility is a premium, such as required in some coil and can coatings.

CYMEL® MI-12-I Resin is a partially iso-butylated melamine supplied in iso-butanol. Its high reactivity, combined with very good leveling properties, makes CYMEL® MI-12-I Resin suitable for fast drying industrial applications like mirror backing, primers, and dipping enamels.

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® U-1050 resin is a partially butylated urea resin supplied in a mixture of nbutanol and xylene. CYMEL® U-1050 resin has wide compatibility with other film formers and is useful in fast curing industrial baking finishes and low temperature curing conversion varnishes for wood.

CYMEL® UI-21-E Resin is a partially iso-butylated urea resin supplied in ethanol. It has been designed for a wide range of high build, low odor industrial wood finishes. CYMEL® UI-21-E Resin is not suitable for exterior applications.
