Reichhold Introduces Three New FINE-CLAD® Powder Coating Resins

11-Dec-2003

Reichhold unveiled three new FINE-CLAD powder coating resins during talks with customers at the recent coatings 2003 show, held in Indianapolis, IN. FINE-CLAD M-8762, M-8792 and M-8912 are the newest additions to Reichhold's line of specialty polyesters for powder coating applications. FINE-CLAD M-8762 is a pre-catalyzed carboxyl functional polyester resin designed to cure with bisphenol-A epoxy curatives at 50/50 ratios. The resulting hybrid systems offer high reactivity and good flow and are ideal for general metal applications as well as coatings for machinery and equipment, office furniture and major appliances.

FINE-CLAD M-8792 is a carboxylated polyester designed to cure with beta-hydroxyalkylamides (or Primid®) to produce coatings with excellent exterior durability. Typical applications include lawn and garden equipment, automotive parts and aluminum profiles and fencing. In addition to outdoor durability, powder coatings based on M-8792 offer high flexibility, good degassing as well as good flow and are also gas-oven stabilized, blooming free and Tribo safe. This resin is especially beneficial to the European marketplace given the growing popularity of Primid® curatives due to their environmentally-friendly properties.

FINE-CLAD M-8912 is a super durable carboxyl functional polyester designed to cure by PT-910 crosslinkers for powder coatings featuring excellent weathering resistance, excellent mechanical properties and good storage stability. Key applications include exterior metals, outdoor furniture and general metals.
