Anti-Sagging Resin 904R
Urethane SCA for metallic automotive and industrial coatings, with unusually good CAB compatibility.
Positioned against Nuplex 90173
Product Overview
904R is a modified urethane anti-sagging resin containing an extremely fine diurea crystal structure. It is written for automotive and industrial coatings that contain metal pigment: it improves the orientation, adhesion and flexibility of metal pigments substantially, and it is compatible with nearly all paint resins, cellulose acetate butyrate in particular.
Key Benefits
- Improves orientation, adhesion and flexibility of metal pigment
- Compatible with nearly all paint resins, and specifically good with CAB
- Fine diurea crystal structure below 15 microns
- Thixotropy 3.5-8 gives sag control without killing flow
- Recommended for both metallic and solid colour coatings

Typical Data And Dosage
Typical values are indicative of the product and are not release specifications. Figures are reproduced from the manufacturer data sheet.
| Appearance | Milky and pale yellow |
| Solids (120C x 60 min) | 48-51 wt% |
| Thixotropy (23C, 6 rpm / 60 rpm) | 3.5-8 |
| Amine value | Below 7 mg KOH/g |
| Fineness | Below 15 microns |
| Specific gravity (25C) | 0.97-1.02 |
Use Guide
- Recommended for coatings containing metal pigment, and also usable in solid colour coatings.
- Check compatibility with the binder in use; the data sheet reports good compatibility with nearly all paint resins and especially with CAB.
- Dosage is not published on the source data sheet. Ask for the current recommendation when you request a sample.
Quality Control On Your Side
- Flop and orientation measurement on sprayed metallic panels
- Sag bar at the target build
- Adhesion and flexibility test on the cured film
How It Compares With The Alternatives
Technical comparison against other ways of solving the same problem. Nothing here is a performance claim against a named commercial product.
| 906S | 906S is a higher solids fluid with sub-10 micron structure for gloss critical work; 904R is the metallic orientation and CAB grade. |
| 908R | 908R is hydroxy-functional for 2K polyurethane; 904R is urethane modified for metallic orientation. |
| QK8521 | 904R is the solventborne route to metallic orientation; QK8521 is the waterborne route. |
