Cymel 327 Methylated melamine-formaldehyde resin Cytec Amino Resins >> Urea based (incl. UF) Coatings >> Solvent-Free/ High-Solids Coatings >> Waterborne Automotive OEM Automotive refinishing Coil Coating Isobutanol Soluble in alcohols, polyols, ketones, esters, glycol ethers and clorinated solvents Insoluble in aliphatic solvents CYMEL 327 resin is a highly methylated, high NH melamine formaldehyde resin designed for high solids and water-borne systems. Its major advantage, compared to other high NH melamine resins, is its potential for lower VOCs in high solids formulations. High solids Fast cure response Low formaldehyde release No strong catalyst required High solids coatings Water-borne coatings Automotive enamels General purpose enamels Coil coatings and metal decorating CYMEL 327 resin will self-condense like other high NH or partially alkylated resins. Higher film hardness may, therefore, be obtained by increasing the level of amino cross-linking agent in the formulation. CYMEL 327 resin is reactive with hydroxyl, amide and carboxyl groups containing polymers. High solids, highly methylated, high NH melamine-formaldehyde resin. Used for high solids and water-borne coatings, automotive enamels, general purpose enamels, coil coatings and metal decorating. Offers low formaldehyde release. Provides fast cure response. Does not require strong catalyst. Gives reactivity with hydroxyl, amide and carboxyl groups containing polymers. Allows low VOC content in high solids formulations.
