CYMEL® 1168

CYMEL® 1168 resin is a highly monomeric, methylated/iso-butylated melamine crosslinker with a high degree of alkylation. Its high monomer content allows for the formulation of high solids coatings with excellent appearance, recoat adhesion, and flexibility. CYMEL® 1168 is especially recommended for automotive topcoats, general metal finishes, and coil coatings. While CYMEL® 1168 resin is insoluble in water, it shows excellent compatibility with water-soluble backbone polymers and provides very good stability in amine-stabilized waterborne formulations.
