- Special Properties
CYCAT 500 catalyst is a strong sulfonic acid catalyst which catalyzes the curing reaction between carboxyl, hydroxyl and amide functional groups with alkylated melamine formaldehyde and urea formaldehyde crosslinking agents.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Coating Type
- Use Level
- 0.5 – 5.0% solid binder
- Suggested Uses
CYCAT 500 catalyst is recommended for use in electrocoating applications to achieve cures in the range of 110 - 135 °C in 15 to 30 minutes, or to reduce the baking time at higher baking temperatures. CYCAT 500 catalyst is also recommended for coatings applied by other application techniques, providing improved adhesion and resistance properties compared with other sulfonic acid type catalysts.
