CYCAT® 4040 catalyst by allnex is a fast cure para-toluene sulfonic acid-based catalyst. It is designed to initiate and accelerate the reaction of amino crosslinking agents, such as those based on melamine and urea formaldehyde. CYCAT® 4040 catalyst is used in printing inks, solvent- & water-borne conversion varnishes for wood, general industrial, paper and exterior can coatings. It is suitable for 2K ambient cure or low bake systems. It offers excellent formulated package stability and reduces energy requirements. Recommended dosage level is 0.5 % catalyst solution. The shelf life of the grade is 720 days. CYCAT® 600 catalyst by allnex is n-dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid-based catalyst. It accelerates the crosslinking reaction of amino resins with polymers containing hydroxyl, carboxyl, or amide functionality. It is direct food contact compliant, reduces energy requirements and provides improved solubility. It may be used as a replacement for less soluble acid catalysts, such as para-toluene sulfonic acid, in low alcohol-containing finishes. It is designed for automotive topcoats, can coatings and general industrial coatings. CYCAT® 600 catalyst is recommended at a dosage level of 1-3%. The shelf life of this product is 1080 days at 32°C. CYCAT® VXK 6395 by allnex is an amine-blocked acidic catalyst. It is developed for cross-linking reaction of urea and melamine curing systems at low temperatures. Designed for stoving paint systems for general industry and for OEM automotive systems. It has a shelf life of 365 days at 25°C. Recommended dosage level of CYCAT® VXK 6395 catalyst is 0.4-0.8 %. CYCAT® 6925 by allnex is an amine-blocked dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid catalyst supplied in isopropanol and 2-butoxyethanol. It is used to initiate and accelerate the cure of aminoplasts, such as those based on melamine, urea, and benzoguanamine which are used to crosslink 1K thermoset systems. Designed for automotive clear coats and can-, container- & general industrial coatings. It can be used in food contact applications. <br>
<ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It offers excellent formulated package stability and is suitable for both solvent- & water-borne systems.</li>
<li>The recommended usage levels are 0.5-2.0% as supplied on total resin solids.</li>
<li>CYCAT® 6925 has a shelf-life of 1080 days.</li></ul> CYCAT® 602 Catalyst by allnex is a strong organic acid catalyst which has been blocked with an amine. It will reduce the rate of cure compared to unblocked systems. It is recommended to accelerate the curing reaction between hydroxyl, carboxyl, or amide functional groups with amino crosslinking agent while providing improved storage stability. CYCAT® 602 Catalyst is used in water-borne and solvent-borne systems. Recommended for can & container coatings, automotive coating formulations and general purpose industrial coatings. The recommended level at >150°C and 125-150°C cured temperature is 1.0% and 2.0% respectively based on the total resin solid. The shelf life of this product is one year. CYCAT® XK 406 N by allnex is an acidic catalyst based on phosphoric acid derivate. It increases the crosslinking speed of heat curing coating systems based on phenolic/ epoxide resin combinations. Offers improved sulphur staining resistance of interior can coating. It is recommended at a dosage level of 2-5 %. CYCAT® XK 406 N has a shelf life of 730 days at 25°C. CYCAT® 6020 catalyst is amine-blocked dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid catalyst by allnex. Recommended to accelerate the cure of highly alkylated amino crosslinking agents. It maintains excellent formulated package stability. Designed for solvent- and water-borne automotive clear coats, general industrial, can and container coatings. Shelf life of CYCAT® 6020 catalyst is 1080 days at 32°C. CYCAT® 296-9 catalyst by allnex is phosphate-based weak acid catalyst. It accelerates the cure of industrial paint systems containing high imino and partially alkylated amino resins. Suitable for lower bake applications. Used in water- & solvent-borne and high solids systems, primers and topcoats. Recommended at a dosage level of 1-3 %. Shelf life of CYCAT® 296-9 catalyst is 1080 days at 32°C. CYCAT® 4045 by allnex is amine blocked para-toluene sulfonic acid catalyst. It is recommended for accelerating the cure response of amino cross-linking resins while providing improved formulation package stability. It is suggested for use with highly alkylated amino crosslinking resins. This product provides excellent stability in high solids and waterborne systems, and in the latter it can be added without causing binder precipitation, which can often occur due to a drop in pH. It minimizes film wrinkling. It is designed for general industrial finishes, automotive basecoats, coil- and exterior can coatings. The shelf life of CYCAT® 4045 is 720 days at 32°C. CYCAT® 500 by allnex is a strong acid catalyst based on dinonylnaphthalene disulfonic acid. It accelerates the cure between hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amide functional groups with alkylated amino crosslinking agents. It is used in electrocoating applications to achieve cure in the range of 110-135°C in 15-30 minutes, or to reduce the baking time at higher baking temperatures.<br>
<ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It is suitable for coatings applied by other application techniques, offering improved adhesion and resistance properties compared with other sulfonic acid catalysts.</li>
<li>It exhibits high electrical resistivity and reduced energy requirements, with no decrease in electrocoat bath stability.</li>
<li>CYCAT® 500 is designed for primers, coil coating finishes, high solids systems and electrostatic spray systems.</li>
<li>The recommended dosage level is 1-3%.</li>
