CYMEL® 1141
- Chemical Family
- Amino Resins
CYMEL® 1141 resin is a highly methylated/iso-butylated, carboxy-modified melamine crosslinker provided in iso-butanol. It's specifically crafted for electro-deposition primer formulations, excelling in corrosion protection and resistance. Featuring chelating groups, it forms colored compounds with heavy metal ions like iron and zinc. Consequently, it's recommended for use in dark single-coat applications or primers and is not suitable for pastel colors. Serving as a crosslinking agent, it finds application in primer formulations for automotive OEM coatings, coil coatings, industrial coatings, and metal coatings.

- Catalysis
Because of its high extent of alkylation, CYMEL 1156 resin responds best to sulfonic acid catalysts, like CYCAT® 4040 catalyst or CYCAT 600 catalyst. Generally, 0.5 to 1.0% of CYCAT 4040 catalyst on total resin solids of the formulation is sufficient to provide good cure at normal baking schedules (15-20 minutes at 120-150°C) in solvent-borne systems. Water-borne systems generally require temperatures of 150°C or higher to effect cure. Higher concentrations of catalyst might be necessary if there are basic pigments or additives present in the formulation.
