Cytec Introduces
New Polyester Resin for Outdoor Durable Primid Powder Coatings
Woodland Park, NJ: May 21, 2009 – Cytec Industries Inc. (NYSE:
CYT) announces the launch of CRYLCOAT® E04155 carboxylated
polyester resin for use with Primid XL-552 in the production of
powder coatings.
This polyester resin is designed for use in HAA powder coatings
at a 93/7 ratio. Formulations based on this product can be cured
at 160ºC for 10 minutes and 150ºC for 15 minutes (cure schedules
based on object temperature). It is designed for outdoor durable
Primid powder coatings that can cure below 170°C. The product is
for use with hydroxylakyl amide crosslinkers such as Primid
XL-552. This resin demonstrates excellent flexibility with good
weathering and chemical resistance.
“This resin is perfect for formulators that want another cure
option out of their current HAA powder coating portfolio. It is
also appropriate for formulators that need an outdoor durable
powder coating that is not cured with TGIC, but will want to
decrease energy use,” said Robertino Chinellato, global
technical service and development director, powder coatings and
resins at Cytec Industries. “Coatings formulated with CRYLCOAT
E04155 exhibit good smoothness and chemical resistance while
having excellent flexibility. Testing shows that an RAL white
coating achieves 0 T-bends at a cure schedule of 160ºC for 10
minutes.”
