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

  • Sagging on vertical panels at metallic film build

Application Scenarios

  • Metallic automotive topcoats built on CAB
  • High performance industrial metallic finishes
  • Solid colour coatings needing sag control

Technical Features

  • Modified urethane resin with minute diurea crystals
  • 48-51 wt% solids measured at 120C for 60 minutes

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
