Building Blocks for Automotive Part Coatings

Hexion’s Cardura™ E10P glycidyl ester has been used for decades as a building block in 2K polyurethane coatings for automotive OEM, refinish clear coats and CED. 

With Cardura glycidyl ester, it is easy to produce low viscosity acrylic polyols (APO) that can be used to make low-VOC solvent borne and water-based binders, Cardura glycidyl ester offers significant benefits such as:

• Excellent substrate wetting
• Superior wet look
• Unique appearance, distinctness of image (DOI)
• Improved UV stability and acid etch resistance
• Excellent adhesion to plastics
• Lower application thicknesses
