Silane/ Polyurethane-hybrid crosslinker for scratch resistant coatings
VESTANAT® EP-MF transforms the unique hybrid properties of IPMS-based adducts into moisture-curable systems for room temperature applications
VESTANAT® EP-MF grades are solvent free, ready-to-use crosslinkers. They can be used as single binder but they are also compatible with a variety of co-binding agents, such as acrylic polyols. The coatings can be cured at ambient temperature and are suitable for all kinds of substrates.
Benefits at a glance
- Ready-to-use 1K self crosslinking system
- Fast curing cycles even at room temperature
- 100% active ingredient
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Outstanding scratch performance
Applications
- Scratch resistant wood and metal coatings
- Impregnating coatings for wooden or mineral substrates
MF Grades
VESTANAT® EP-MF 201 is a solvent free, and ready-to-use crosslinker or self-crosslinking binder. It can be used either as a single binder or in combination with appropriate co-binders. Such low VOC formulations show outstanding scratch and chemical resistance.
VESTANAT EP-MF 202 is a solvent free and ready catalyzed polymethoxysilane. It is used as a crosslinker or sole binder to formulate flexible, highly scratch- and chemical resistant coatings, e. g. highly scratch resistant NISO*2 coatings.
This crosslinker enables coatings with high reactivity and fast return-to-service
times. It makes them conspicuous through short curing cycles at ambient temperature. VESTANAT® EP-MF 203 is the next generation product with
even enhanced drying behavior and scratch resistance.
- Silane content and crosslinking density are the highest among the MF-range
- Outstanding scratch and also chemical resistance
- Solvent-free
- Touch dry within one hour possible
This crosslinker has a higher content of urethane structures. It offers a
more balanced profile between flexibility and scratch resistance. VESTANAT® EP-MF 204 is the next generation product with greater enhanced drying behavior and
scratch resistance.
- Increased content of PUR chains
- Carefully adjusted balance between extraordinary mechanical performance and well tuned flexibility
- Solvent-free
- Touch dry times of less then 120 minutes
This crosslinker has the highest flexibility of the entire EP-MF product range. A harmoniously tuned mechanical property profile allows for silyl-polyurethane coatings with good hardness and simultaneously high flexibility.
- PUR-like flexibility paired with the typical hardness and resistance of the MF Family
- Touch dry times of 90 minutes possible
- Moderate silane content for optimum balance between performance and price
