Special Properties and Uses

CYCAT XK 406 N is a phosphoric acid derivate. CYCAT XK 406 N increases the crosslinking speed of heat curing coating systems based on e.g. phenolic/‐epoxide resin combinations. A significant improvement of adhesion properties is often seen in connection with the use of CYCAT XK 406 N.

Furthermore, the use of CYCAT XK 406 N often leads to an improved sulfur staining resistance of interior can coating systems based on phenolic/epoxide resin combinations.

Processing Information

For combinations of phenolic‐ and high molecular weight epoxide resins we recommend to add 2 ‐ 5 % (calculated on solid resin). Since phenolic resins are often combined with other coating raw materials, one should always find out the optimal content of CYCATl XK 406 N by trials. Overdosage of CYCAT XK 406 N has a negative influence onto the storage stability of the lacquers containing it.
