Product Details

CYMEL 323 resin is a methylated melamine-formaldehyde crosslinking agent with a medium to high degree of alkylation, a low methylol content and medium to high imino functionality.  CYMEL 323 resin is a very effective crosslinking agent for backbone polymers containing hydroxyl, amide and to some extent, carboxyl functional groups, such as epoxy, alkyd/polyester or acrylic resins.

 

Typical Applications

  • CYMEL 323 resin is suitable for a wide range of industrial stoving systems, providing exceptional fast cure response.
  • The baking volatiles from CYMEL 323 resin contain very low levels of formaldehyde even though the tendency to self condensation takes preference over the crosslinking reaction.
  • Compared to other high imion, methylated crosslinking agents, CYMEL 323 resin shows improved film hardness, solvent and humidity resistance.

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.
