Saturated polyester for can and coil coatings – ITALESTER 203 is a saturated polyester with excellent properties for can and coil coatings. ITALESTER 203 can be mixed with methylated melamine (ITAMIN HM3) for coil coatings, with good outdoor resistance, adhesion, flexibility, and gloss retention. If mixed with benzoguanamine resins (ITAMIN BG 140; BG 141; BG 142; BG143; BG 145) ITALESTER 203 is suitable for outdoor can coatings (enamels and OPV) with high gloss, sterilization resistance, flexibility. ITALESTER 203 can also be mixed with blocked isocyanates (URONAL BN75) with excellent properties. ITALESTER 203 is compatible with ITAMIN resins and blocked isocyanates. ITALESTER 203 is soluble in glycol-ethers, ether-esters, ketones; it is partially soluble in aromatics; it is insoluble in aliphatics. However, due to the huge number of potential partners, preliminary tests are recommended.
