Product Details

CYMEL 1158 resin is a n-butylated, high imino melamine crosslinker which combines the excellent compatability of a conventional butylated melamine resin with the fast, low temperature cure response of CYMEL 325 resin. Like other high imino melamine resins, Cymel 1158 has a high tendency to selfcondense resulting in films with high film hardness that can be adjusted based on loading. It’s hydrophobic nature improves susbstrate wetting, flow and leveling, and humidity and salt spray resistance making it suitable for a wide range of applications including automotive topcoats and general industral finishes.

Benefits

  • Fast cure response
  • Substrate wetting
  • Low formaldehyde release upon cure
  • Humidity and salt spray resistance

Typical Applications

  • Automotive coating formulations
  • General industrial coatings

About allnex Crosslinkers

Phenolic and amino crosslinkers are used with epoxy, polyester, acrylic and alkyd resins and provide the desired balance of flexibility, exterior durability, chemical resistance and film toughness. CYCAT® acid catalysts enhance crosslinking for low acid-containing polymers and lower-temperature applications. The new CYMEL® NF formaldehyde-free crosslinkers are ideal for applications where formaldehyde emissions are a concern.
