1174 resin is a member of the highly durable glycoluril family of “aminoplast” crosslinking
agents. It is highly monomeric, being mostly tetramethoxymethyl glycoluril. 1174 resin crosslinks both polyester and acrylic polymers having hydroxyl functionality
when heated in the presence of a strong acid catalyst such as sulfonic acid or POWDERLINK
MTSI catalyst. 

 Advantages:

1174 resin has a number of properties that make it a very attractive crosslinker for powder
coatings.
• excellent hardness and flexibility
• excellent solvent resistance
• excellent weathering resistance
• low temperature/fast cure potential
• low usage (low equivalent weight)
• non-yellowing: excellent overbake resistance
• formulative versatility
• imparts tribochargeability

Applications

Because of its excellent properties, particularly light stability, weather resistance and good
overbake resistance, 1174 resin is especially useful in coatings for exterior surfaces.
Applications include lawn and garden equipment and furniture,automotive trim, extrusion
coatings and other building products. 1174 resin is also useful in powder coatings for
appliances and in general industrial applications, such as lighting fixtures.
