n-butylated melamine/formaldehyde resin – ITAMIN M 188 is a melamine resin for the stoving coatings in combination with acrylics, alkyds, saturated polyesters. It’s main applications where are: OEM for car bodies, both solid colours and clear coats; OEM for appliances and any other industrial good with outstanding flow, high surface gloss, and excellent mar resistance. The combination low viscosity/high solid is ideal for assembling high solid stoving coatings. ITAMIN M 188 has to be considered a melamine resin with medium/high reactivity. ITAMIN M 188 is compatible with ITAMIN range, with several ITALKID and SINTAL and has a limited compatibility with some saturated polyesters. . ITAMIN M 188 is soluble in esters, ketones, alcohols, and aromatic solvents. It is partially soluble in white spirit; it is not soluble in water. However, due to the huge number of potential partners, preliminary tests are recommended.

ITAMIN PM 3 is a partially methylated melamine resin with high molecular weight, high reactivity, and a very low percentage of free formaldehyde, also suitable for low temperature systems. ITAMIN PM 3 is used in applications that require very hard films. It is used to improve the hardness in coil coating in combination with HMMM. ITAMIN PM 3 is used in combination with short oil alkyd resins, oil-free polyesters, epoxies, and acrylics to formulate industrial, OEM, and can coatings paints. ITAMIN PM 3 can be used for both solvent-based and water-based paints. Use with a very reactive alkyd resin often leads to a sudden increase in viscosity. This phenomenon can be avoided by adding proportionate quantities of glycol-ethers or related acetates solvent based. Sufficient amounts of polar solvents are often present in water-based finishes to act as a stabilizer.

ITAMIN U 32 is a urea/formaldehyde resin used for stoving enamels, in combination with short-oil alkyd resins. ITAMIN U 32 can be used also in epoxy/amino systems. Its main characteristics are: – good reactivity; – high resin and coatings stability; – high solid content; – low free-formaldehyde release.

ITAMIN U38 is a urea / formaldehyde resin etherified with isobutyl alcohol used for both internal and external Can Coatings sector (raw materials are FDA 175.300 approved); it is used with acid-catalyzed paint products and oven-baked enamels for industry and ACE machinery. The main characteristics of ITAMIN U 38 are excellent compatibility with epoxy resins and high resistance to sterilization. ITAMIN U 38 is compatible with epoxy resins and saturated polyesters and soluble in alcohols, acetates, and ketones. However, given the large number of possible partners, it is advisable to carry out preliminary tests.

SYNCRYL 406/60 TPGDA is a styrene-free polyester resin modified with acrylic monomer designed for U.V. paints. and Electron Beam, both for wood and paper; furthermore, adequately mixed with other oligomers and monomers, it is also used for systems for both OPV flexographic and Off-set ink sectors. A recommended use of SYNCRYL 406/60 TPGDA is for roller primers or for application with a veiling machine, to be dried with Electron Beam. Its cross-linking occurs after exposure to UV, thus guaranteeing low emission and a low level of residual odor while also reducing the risk of exudation of the film. The ideal photoinitiator mix for SYNCRYL 406/60 TPGDA consists of Benzophenone, acrylate amine, BDK, and α-hydroxyketone SYNCRYL 406/60 TPGDA is compatible with the SYNCRYL series, and with all the majority of the most popular acrylic monomers, in every ratio. However, we recommend checking compatibility and solubility with preliminary tests.
