CYMEL® 327 is a highly reactive, methylated high imino melamine crosslinker supplied in iso-butanol, known for its tendency towards self-condensation at standard baking temperatures, resulting in coatings with excellent hardness, gloss, chemical resistance, and outdoor durability. Its high reactivity and potential to lower VOCs make it ideal for high-solids formulations in automotive, coil, and industrial metal coatings.

CYMEL® 373 is a partially methylated melamine resin supplied in water, offering high reactivity and water solubility, making it ideal for fast-curing waterborne industrial coating formulations.

DPHA (Acrylated dipentaerythritol) is a multifunctional reactive diluent that polymerizes when exposed to sources of free radicals. DPHA is particularly useful in ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings and inks where improved cure response, hardness and scratch/abrasion resistance are desired.

CYCAT 4040 catalyst is a very versatile catalyst material especially formulated for consistency of strength for use in various solvent soluble and water-based thermosetting vehicles. It is especially recommended where a strong acid catalyst is desired to accelerate the cure of highly alkylated melamine-formaldehyde crosslinked systems and to reduce the curing temperature of urea resin systems.
