Products

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® 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® 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® U-663 resin is a partially iso-butylated urea resin supplied in iso-butanol. The fast drying properties combined with very good block resistance makes CYMEL® U-663 resin suitable for acid curing wood coating applications where low formaldehyde emission and high film gloss is required.

CYMEL® 1172 resin is an unalkylated glycoluril crosslinker supplied in water at 45% solids. It is designed to be used for crosslinking aqueous neutral or acidic hydroxyl or amide functional polymers and combines excellent stability at acidic pH (as low as 4) with excellent reactivity. CYMEL® 1172 resin cannot be used in amine neutralized or basic coating systems because of the potential problems of demethylolation of the compound and a significant decrease in cure response.

CYMEL® U-1050-10 Resin is a partially n-butylated urea resin supplied in n-butanol and is the HAPS compliant version of CYMEL® U-1050-10 Resin. CYMEL® U-1050-10 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® 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.

AEROTEX® IBMA Monomer a homolog of N-methylolacrylamide (NMA), is the isobutyl ether of NMA. It contains a readily polymerizable vinyl group as well as a crosslinkable iso-butoxymethyl group.

CYMEL® 1133 Resin is a highly methylated, n-butylated melamine crosslinker with a high degree of alkylation. It has a higher butoxymethyl content and higher monomer content compared to CYMEL® 1130 resin. Its hydrophobic nature combined with very good film appearance properties makes CYMEL® 1133 resin suitable for automotive topcoat applications and general metal finishes requiring improved durability and resistance properties.

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® 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® 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-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® UI-19-I resin is a partially iso-butylated urea resin supplied in iso-butanol. The fast drying properties provide good block resistance and makes CYMEL® UI19-I resin suitable for ambient and low bake industrial wood finishes.

CYMEL® U-1054-8 is a urea formaldehyde (UF) resin, specifically urea polymerized with formaldehyde and butylated. It is used in surface coating applications.
