EBECRYL® 8702 is an aliphatic urethane hexaacrylate that offers a multitude of performance properties allowing the formulator the flexibility to meet requirements. Films using EBECRYL® 8702 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit a combination of hardness, abrasion and impact resistance coupled with good exterior durability.

AP 1041X90 is a medium viscosity reactive, Mannich-based amine hardener for epoxy resins based lacquers and coatings.

CYMEL® 325 is a new type of highly methylated melamine-formaldehyde resin which does not require a strong acid catalyst for fast cure response. CYMEL® 325 is reactive with hydroxyl-, amide-, and carboxyl-group-containing polymers. The weight loss of CYMEL® 325 during the baking process is significantly less than that of partially methylated melamine-formaldehyde resins. The baking volatiles from CYMEL® 325 contain very low levels of formaldehyde. The lower weight loss of CYMEL® 325 crosslinked coatings also results in less tendency to blister at higher film thickness. CYMEL® 325 requires only weak acid catalysis for cure; a low acid number in the backbone resin is sufficient. The cure reaction additionally can be catalyzed with weak organic acids or inorganic acids such as maleic, citric, phosphoric, or alkyl phosphoric acids, low levels of p-toluene sulfonic acid, or CYCAT® 14040 catalyst. CYMEL® 325 will self-condense, like a partially methylated resin. Higher film hardness may, therefore, be obtained by raising the level of amino crosslinking agent. The high reaction rate of CYMEL® 325 at lower temperature reduces the chance of evaporation of low molecular weight resin components. CYMEL® 325 should, therefore, be very suitable for applications where "smoking" of the baking exhaust is a problem. Compared to partially methylated melamine-formaldehyde resins, CYMEL® 325 has shown, in some water-reducible coatings, improved humidity and salt-spray resistance. CYMEL® 325 resin is FDA approved under section 121.2514 and 121.2526.

BS-1C-7 is an organically modified smectite blend designed for use primarily in low polarity solvent systems. It is a conventional technology type, entailing activation to achieve optimal performance.

D.E.N.® 438 is a general purpose, widely used epoxy novolac resin.

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.

WANNATE® IT-170S is used in automotive OEM coatings, industrial coatings, and vehicle refinish applications. Applied by spray, it serves as a binder, resin, and hardener compatible with alkyds, polyacrylates, and polyester polyols.

BS-1C-B15 is an organoclay for solvent-based systems of low, medium and high polarity.

NuTone® 373 is a low structure, high jetness pigment black that is broadly applicable in a variety of coating applications.

WANNATE® IT-170B can be used as the hardener component for lightfast two-component polyurethane coatings with high resistance to chemicals and weathering, very good gloss retention and outstanding mechanical properties. Based on its high hardness, it is normally mixed with WANNATE® HT series.

AP 1405 is a low viscosity, reactive, mannish-based amine hardener for epoxy resins based lacquers and coatings.

D.E.H.® 545 hardener is a low viscosity formulated polyamidoamine adduct specially designed for wet application areas. It may be formulated with liquid Bisphenol A and/or Bisphenol F epoxy resins for optimum adhesion on dry and wet concrete substrates.
