Epoxy Resin Systems and Building Blocks for Automotive OEM Coatings

More than 40 years ago, Hexion helped introduce electrodeposition (ED) coating technology for anti-corrosion primers. Today, major coating manufacturers continue to rely on Hexion epoxy resins, modifiers and curing agents for their CED resin and coating formulations.

Cardura™ E10P glycidyl ester has also been used for decades as a building block for automotive OEM topcoats, basecoats and CED.

Epoxy Resins:

• Liquid and solid epoxy resins, such as EPON Resins 828 or EPON Resin 1001F
• Excellent adhesion
• Superior corrosion resistance
• Uniform coverage

Cardura™ E10P glycidyl ester:

• Building block for 2K polyurethane OEM coatings
• Enable high solids low viscosity polymers
• Superior wet look
• Unique appearance/Distinctness of image (DOI)
• Improved UV and acid etch resistance
• Outdoor durability
• Enhanced substrate wetting
• Improved adhesion to plastics
