- Storage Stabilty
CYMEL 1170 resin has a shelf life of 1440 days from the date of manufacture when stored at temperatures below 32°C. Although low temperatures are not detrimental to stability, its viscosity will increase, possibly making the resin difficult to pump or pour. The viscosity will reduce again on warming, but care should be taken to avoid excessive local heat as this can cause an irreversible increase in viscosity.
- Application Areas
- High solids coatings
- Coil coating enamels
- Automotive primers
- Appliance primers
- Formulation Stability
The stability of formulated systems containing CYMEL 1170 resin can be enhanced by the addition of alcohols, amines or a combination of these. Low molecular weight primary alcohols such as methanol and n-butanol are most effective. Recommended amines are TEA, DMEA or 2-AMP at a concentration of 0.5-1.0% on total binder solids. Package stability can also be enhanced by the use of a blocked acid catalyst such as CYCAT 4045 catalyst.
