CYMEL® 659 resin

by allnex

CYMEL® 659 resin by allnex is a partially n-butylated benzoguanamine resin-based crosslinker supplied in n-butanol. Like other benzoguanamine resins, this product imparts excellent adhesion and chemical resistance to the coating, but without the need for an external catalyst in the formulation. Because of the limited light resistance properties of these resins, CYMEL® 659 resin is not suitable for exterior applications. It possesses corrosion & chemical resistance and adhesion properties. It is used in automotive primers, can & container coatings and coil coating primers. It shows good compatibility with acrylic, alkyd, polyester and epoxy resins. The shelf life of this additive is 1080 days from the date of manufacture when stored at temperatures below 32°C.

CYMEL® 1170 resin

by allnex

CYMEL® 1170 resin by allnex is a highly butylated glycoluril, crosslinker. It is 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 post-forming of parts and exposure of the stressed coating to humidity, steam, dry heat, or weather. This feature makes this product a good candidate for coil of metal decoration enamels and primers. In addition, it releases significantly lower amounts of formaldehyde during the baking process compared to other amino resins. It shows very good compatibility with alkyd-, acrylic-, epoxy- and polyester resins. CYMEL® 1170 resin is recommended for appliance- & automotive primers and high solids coatings.
