CYMEL U-65 is a high-solids, methylated urea resin designed as a solvent-free crosslinking agent for hydroxyl-containing polymers in both waterborne and solvent-borne systems. It offers fast curing and stability, making it ideal for applications such as fast-curing baking enamels, water-reducible wood finishes, low-temperature curing conversion varnishes, and paper coatings.

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.
