Curing Agent · Anionic

YT-6300 — Waterborne Anionic Curing Agent

Aliphatic-monomer waterborne anionic curing agent with excellent anti-yellowing and water dispersibility — mixable by hand stirring, very high NCO content lowers the required dosage, 3–4 h open time.

Appearance: Light yellow transparent liquid
Solid content: 100%
Excellent water dispersibility — less or no organic solvent needed
Very high NCO content for a lower dosage than conventional grades
3–4 hour open time; mixable by hand stirring

Curing Agent · Non-Ionic

YT-1102 — Waterborne Non-Ionic Curing Agent

Aliphatic-monomer waterborne non-ionic curing agent with excellent anti-yellowing; crosslinks most neutral waterborne polymers to raise hardness, water and chemical resistance and adhesion, with a 5–6 h open time.

Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid
Solid content: 99 – 100%
Excellent anti-yellowing performance
Significantly increases film hardness and adhesion
Improves water and chemical resistance

Crosslinker · Carbodiimide

YT-G30 — Polymeric Carbodiimide Crosslinker

Polymeric carbodiimide crosslinker that reacts with carboxyl groups in waterborne resins to greatly improve cohesion, hydrolysis resistance and heat resistance; slow at room temperature for a workable open time, fast crosslinking during drying.

Appearance: Light yellow to light red transparent liquid
Solid content: 50 ± 2%
Excellent water dispersibility with a suitable open time
Provides lasting hydrolysis resistance for resins
Significantly improves resin heat resistance
