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® 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.

RHOPLEX® HG-700 is an aqueous, 100% acrylic polymer designed for interior and exterior, VOC compliant, gloss and semigloss enamels. This binder uses ambient temperature self-crosslinking technology to offer improved enamel performance versus conventional latex polymers. The combination of an all-acrylic backbone and ambient cure crosslinking technology offers excellent performance in gloss and semi-gloss formulations at VOC levels under 150 g/L. Gloss enamels based on RHOPLEX® HG-700 offer durable coatings with excellent adhesion, block resistance, and stain removal. Suitable applications include factory applied topcoats for wood and wood composite materials such as joinery and siding products.

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

RHOPLEX® MV-23LO is an aqueous, all-acrylic binder designed for interior and exterior wood primers and stain-blocking sealers. It is a versatile vehicle that can be used in both the formulation of primers that upgrade difficult substrates into sound repaint surfaces, and stain blocking sealers that minimize the "bleed through" of wood tannins and common household stains.

Polycin® 53 is a 100% solids, multifunctional castor oil-based derivative designed for use as a polyol or reactive diluent in polyurethane systems. It will impart flexibility and improved pigment wetting into many polyurethane systems. Polycin® 53, as a reactive diluent, will allow for VOC reduction while imparting the beneficial properties of castor oil derivatives, such as improved flow and leveling.

CRAYVALLAC® EXTRA is a high performance, micronised amide wax rheology modifier suitable for high-solids and solvent-free applications with very high robustness. It is especially recommended in 2K epoxy primers for its high temperature tolerance.CRAYVALLAC® EXTRA overcomes those difficulties which exist with hydrogenated castor oil based rheology modifiers e.g. seeding and false-body and that were maximised when activation was performed at high temperatures.

PARALOID™ A-21 30% Resin is a very hard methyl methacrylate type polymer with enhanced adhesion properties. It is provided as a 30% solution in a toluene/butanol system. The polymer is also available in a solid grade form. Lacquers formulated with PARALOID™ A-21 30% Resin possess excellent intercoat adhesion, hardness, and outdoor durability. PARALOID™ A-21 30% Resin will air-dry rapidly to give clear, colorless films that have excellent resistance to yellowing.

ADDID® 900 is an adhesion promoter for solvent-borne and waterborne primers and coating formulations. It is based on an amino-functional silane.

Dynasylan® 1146 diaminofunctional silane may be used in coatings, adhesives, and sealants to improve the adhesion of amino­reactive resins. These are resins such as silicones (RTV), two­part urethanes, silylated urethanes, MS polymers, and two­part epoxies to inorganic surfaces, plastic surfaces, and inorganic fillers. Dynasylan® 1146 silane is characterized by randomly­distributed linear and cyclic oligosiloxanes and fullfills the OECD polymer definition. Its low volatility and viscosity make compounding easy. Dynasylan® 1146 silane produces significantly less by- product (VOC) and has a correspondingly low odor level during application.

EBECRYL® 524 is an acid-modified polyester resin diluted 30% by weight with the reactive diluent 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA). It exhibits very low color and moderate acid value. EBECRYL 524 is used as the primary or modifying oligomer in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable formulations to increase adhesion to a variety of substrates including paper, plastics and metal. It is particularly useful in UV/EB laminating adhesives.

EBECRYL® 888 is a low viscosity polyester acrylate designed for use in energy-cure primer coatings to provide ink receptivity and prevent plasticizer migration. Films containing EBECRYL® 888 which are cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit good adhesion, good abrasion resistance and high flexibility. EBECRYL® 888 is recommended for use in flexographic or gravure primer coatings printed on polyester, plasticized PVC and uncoated films.

Hybricor™ 204 is an organic/inorganic hybrid corrosion inhibitor pigment, a proven effective replacement for Cr⁶⁺ in aerospace primer applications on aluminum and other non-ferrous substrates. The fine particle size of Hybricor™ 204 (7 Hegman) permits it to be easily incorporated into a coating using a high speed disperser. It is effective in primers, DTM and thin film (20 micron) applications. It does not affect pot life of 2K systems.

D.E.H.® 546 curing agent is a low viscosity modified cycloaliphatic amine intended for ambient temperature curing of liquid epoxy resins.
