Attain better FDA approved can coatings

CYCAT® 600 is preferred over less soluble acid catalysts for low alcohol containing amino crosslinker can coatings as it has FDA 21 CFR 175.300 approval. Other FDA approved options are available including CYCAT® XK 406N for phenolic crosslinker resins used for interior can coatings. 

  • FDA approved options
  • Faster cure speeds
  • Less energy required

Accelerate automotive coating lines

DDBSA based catalysts blocked (CYCAT® 6020 & CYCAT® 6030) and unblocked (CYCAT® 600) recommended for automotive coatings to accelerate the crosslinking reaction of amino resins with polymers containing hydroxyl, carboxyl, or amide functionality. CYCAT® 600 is soluble in a wide variety of organic solvents. It may be used as a replacement for less soluble acid catalysts, such as para-toluene sulfonic acid.  This family of catalysts has improved hydrolysis and is better for electrostatic spray applications.

  • Faster cure speeds
  • Less energy required
  • Improved solubility

Lower energy footprint of industrial metal coating lines

CYCAT® portfolio contains a wide variety of strong and weak acid catalysts that initiate and accelerate the cure speed of industrial paint systems that contain XLR amino resins. These coatings have excellent corrosion  and hydrolysis resistance properties.  Can be employed in waterborne and solvent based coatings.   

  • Faster cure speeds
  • Less energy required as allows for lower temperature cure
