Mixed Etherified Melamine Resin
Introduction
This category of products is mainly made by reacting butanol, methanol in a certain proportion with hydroxymethyl melamine. It has the comprehensive advantages of methyl ether and butyl ether resins, namely excellent flexibility, weather resistance, water resistance, chemical resistance, popularity, and adhesion. It can crosslink with alkyd resin, polyester resin, acrylic resin, epoxy resin, polyurethane, and cellulose, and is used to prepare oil-based, water-based, and solvent-free baking paints.
| MT3168 | Colorless, viscous liquid | ≥98 | 2000-4500 | ≤0.1 | – | Strong adhesion, used for automotive baking paint | |
| MT 3130 | Colorless, viscous liquid | ≥96 | 3000-6000 | ≤0.1 | – | Used for high solid content coatings and electrophoretic coatings | |
| MT 3133 | Colorless, viscous liquid | ≥96 | 800-2000 | ≤0.1 | – | Used for high solid content coatings, with good adhesion and flexibility |
