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.

CYMEL® 303 LF resin is a highly methylated, monomeric melamine crosslinker supplied in liquid form at ≥ 98% solids content. Its high extent of alkylation and low tendency to self-condense make CYMEL® 303 LF resin a highly effective crosslinking agent for a broad range of applications such as can, container, automotive and general industrial coatings. While CYMEL® 303 LF resin is insoluble in water, it shows excellent compatibility with water-soluble backbone polymers and provides very good stability in amine-stabilized waterborne formulations.

IBOA is a monofunctional reactive diluent that polymerizes when exposed to sources of free radicals. The bicyclic structure of IBOA gives rise to polymers of increased Tg, while its monofunctionality minimizes crosslinking to provide coatings and inks with good hardness and resiliency combined with flexibility and impact resistance.
