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.
| Polyester acrylates |
| Wide range of viscosities (low to high), cure speed, moderate to high shrinkage |
| Epoxy acrylates |
| Very fast cure, high hardness, excellent chemical resistance |
| Urethane acrylates |
| Versatile, virtually any performance level can be achieved in terms of softness/hardness, flexibility, non-yellowing and cure speeds, with a wide range of viscosities. Aliphatic urethane acrylates are known for their excellent outdoor performance |
| Amine modified polyether acrylates |
| Reactivity boosters |
| Multi-Functional Methacrylates (MFMAs) |
| Used as reactive diluents mainly in non-UV application which are built in the polymer network upon reaction |
| Acrylate monomers |
| Used as reactive diluents in UV/EB formulations that become part of the polymer backbone |
