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® 202 Resin is a methylated/n-butylated, high imino melamine crosslinker supplied in n-butanol. Its hydrophobic nature combined with high reactivity, high solids content, and rather low formaldehyde release during the curing process makes CYMEL® 202 Resin suitable for a wide range of medium to high solids or waterborne baking applications, like can and container coating formulations, automotive coatings, and low cure systems to improve film appearance and resistance properties. CYMEL® 202 resin has a high tendency to self-condense at rather low baking temperatures, providing films with very good hardness, gloss, chemical resistance, and outdoor durability.

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.

CYMEL® U-1054 resin is a partially n-butylated urea crosslinking agent supplied in a mixture of n-butanol and ethanol. CYMEL® U-1054 resin is suitable for industrial heat cured primer formulations because of the excellent adhesion, water and corrosion resistance properties. In can coating formulations, CYMEL® U-1054 provides an excellent balance between adhesion and film flexibility, especially after several cure cycles.

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® U-21-511 Resin is a partially n-butylated urea resin supplied in n-butanol and is the HAPs compliant version of CYMEL® U-21-510. It has excellent compatibility with epoxy resins. It is recommended in primer formulations which are to be topcoated and re-baked. Low viscosity and epoxy solution compatibility make this product an ideal modifier.

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® 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® 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® 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® 1141 Resin is a highly methylated/iso-butylated, carboxy-modified melamine crosslinker supplied in iso-butanol. CYMEL® 1141 Resin is especially designed for electro-deposition primer formulations requiring excellent corrosion and resistance properties. CYMEL® 1141 Resin contains chelating groups which can form colored compounds with heavy metal ions such as iron and zinc. For that reason it is recommended to use CYMEL® 1141 Resin only in dark single coat applications or primers and not in pastel colors.

CYMEL® NF 2000A Resin is a unique trifunctional melamine-based crosslinker containing reactive carbamate functionality supplied in n-butanol. It can be used to crosslink hydroxy- and epoxy-containing polymers to give highly durable, acid-resistant films that exhibit a favorable balance of hardness and flexibility. An important feature of CYMEL® NF 2000A Resin is that it does not contain or emit formaldehyde on cure. It can be employed as the sole crosslinker in a coating or ink formulation, or it may be used at lower levels in combination with other crosslinkers, such as amino resins or isocyanates, in order to obtain a balance of properties.

CYMEL® 1158 resin is a n-butylated, high imino melamine crosslinker which combines the excellent compatability of a conventional butylated melamine resin with the fast, low temperature cure response of CYMEL® 325 resin. Like other high imino melamine resins, CYMEL® 1158 has a high tendency to selfcondense resulting in films with high film hardness that can be adjusted based on loading. It’s hydrophobic nature improves susbstrate wetting, flow and leveling, and humidity and salt spray resistance making it suitable for a wide range of applications including automotive topcoats and general industral finishes
