CYMEL® 303 LF

by allnex

CYMEL® 303 LF by allnex is a highly methylated, monomeric melamine crosslinker supplied in liquid form. Its high extent of alkylation and low tendency to self-condense makes this product a highly effective crosslinking agent for a broad range of applications such as can, container, automotive and general industrial coatings. While CYMEL® 303 LF is insoluble in water, it shows excellent compatibility with water-soluble backbone polymers and provides very good stability in amine-stabilized waterborne formulations. It shows excellent compatibility with water-soluble backbone polymers and provides very good stability in amine-stabilized water-borne formulations. Recommended for high solids & water-borne-coatings and inks. The shelf life of this resin is 1800 days.
