- High GlossImproved Hardness
- Chemical Family
- Amides
LH-75 is a complex amide polymer modifier / additive that will impart and improve properties to all types of lacquers including nitrocellulose, acrylic, polyurethane and acid-catalyzed varnishes. LH-75 is also effective in polyester / melamine systems. Caution: We do not recommend use of LH-75 in systems containing a high level of aliphatic hydrocarbons.
