SINOYQX YQX-585 Launched, Methyl etherified melamine formaldehyde resin, Alternative of CYMEL 385

CHENGDU, China - May 31, 2023 - PRLog -- SINOYQX on 31^th, May, 2023, launched its YQX-585, as an alternative of CYMEL 385, a Methyl etherified melamine formaldehyde resin, into International Markets. YQX-585 resin exhibits the same performance with CYMEL 385 resin for water-soluble paints such as water-based paints and emulsion topcoats, and other applications.

YQX-585 resin by SINOYQX (https://www.sinoyqx.com/chemicals/modified-melamine-formaldehyde-resin/modified-melamine-formaldehyde-resin-for-coating/), can react with polymers containing hydroxyl, amide and carboxyl groups; the low acid value of its matching main resin is enough to catalyze the crosslinking reaction, and it can be cured quickly without strong acid catalyst; it can undergo self-condensation and increase the content of amino crosslinking agent It can increase the hardness of the paint film, and the reaction speed of YQX-585 resin is faster even at lower temperatures.

CYMEL® 385 resin is a methylated high amino melamine resin with a low degree of alkylation. Being supplied in water, it is recommended as a crosslinking agent for hydroxyl-containing emulsion polymers and other aqueous systems containing hydroxyl or amide functionality. CYMEL® 385 resin has a high tendency to self-condense and may be used to increase the hardness and resistance properties of thermoplastic waterborne polymers.

SINOYQX YQX-585, as an alternative of CYMEL® 385 resin, it is very suitable for water-soluble coating applications, especially for water-based wood paint coatings and emulsion topcoat coatings. Here is a parameters comparison of the two products:

YQX-585 and CYMEL® 385 Specifications

Parameter          Index of YQX-585          Index of CYMEL® 385

Appearance          transparent viscous liquid          Clear Liquid

Solvent          Water          Water

Solid content (105°C×3h)/℅    ≥80          ≥80

Viscosity/mp.s          1000～1800 (30°C)          600-1000 (25°C)
