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

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.

CYMEL® U-1052-8 resin is an n-butylated urea-formaldehyde crosslinking agent supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and xylene. CYMEL® U-1052-8 resin has excellent compatibility with epoxy resins and is particularly suitable for interior can coatings where it contributes to good adhesion and pasteurization resistance. CYMEL® U-1052-8 resin is not recommended for topcoats requiring exterior durability.

CYMEL® 247-10 resin is a partially n-butylated melamine-formaldehyde crosslinking agent characterized by a superior degree of compatibility with most backbone polymers, as implied by its very high hydrocarbon tolerance value. CYMEL® 247-10 resin is suitable for industrial baking enamels requiring good flow, high gloss and superior resistance properties. CYMEL® 247-10 resin is also useful as a leveling agent in coil coating and metal decoration formulations to improve flow, wetting and gloss.

CYMEL® UI-27-EI Resin is a partially iso-butylated urea resin supplied in a mixture of ethanol and iso-butanol. CYMEL® UI-27-EI Resin is suitable for use in both acid curing wood coating applications and general industrial primer and topcoat formulations. CYMEL® UI-27-EI Resin is not suitable for exterior 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® 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® 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® UI-20-E Resin is a partially iso-butylated urea crosslinker designed for use in acid curing wood coatings with high film build requirements. Being supplied in ethanol, films dry very quickly resulting in coatings with excellent early block resistance.

CYMEL® 1130 resin is a methylated/n-butylated melamine crosslinker with a high extent of alkylation. Its hydrophobic nature makes for improved wetting and adhesion on metal substrates, and improved humidity and salt spray resistance. CYMEL® 1130 resin is insoluble in water but shows excellent compatibility and stability with water-soluble backbone polymers and is an excellent crosslinker for anodic electrodeposition coatings.

CYMEL® XW 3106 Resin is a specially alkylated, high solids melamine crosslinking agent designed for solvent-borne, two-pack ambient and low bake formulations. The low-temperature cure potential for this crosslinker provides the opportunity to formulate high-performance coatings for heat-sensitive substrates. These systems have excellent early hardness, resistance properties, appearance, and hot/cold cycle flexibility.

CYMEL® U-227-8 Resin is a general-purpose n-butylated urea resin that combines fast curing speed with excellent enamel stability in pigmented systems. It is compatible with low and medium molecular weight epoxy resins and is recommended for use in epoxy/urea metal primers, metal decorating, and drum and dipping enamels. CYMEL® U-227-8 Resin is also recommended as a pigment grinding vehicle. It is supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and xylene.

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® U-93-210 Resin is an n-butylated urea formaldehyde resin supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and xylene. It has excellent compatibility with epoxy resins and is recommended in primer formulations which are to be topcoated and rebaked.

CYMEL® UI-38-I resin is a partially iso-butylated urea crosslinker supplied in iso-butanol and intended for use in industrial stoving applications and especially systems applied by electrostatic spray. Because of the poor weathering resistance of urea resins, CYMEL® UI-38-I is not recommended for exterior applications.
