Isocryl EP-570

Isocryl EP-570 is a glycidyl-functional acrylic hardener designed to produce low gloss, exterior-durable polyester powder coatings.   Benefits include consistent gloss, smooth matte appearance and dependable performance.   “One-shot” low gloss coatings can be produced by using Isocryl EP-570 in conjunction with 30-35 acid value polyesters.  Standard polyester resins used for TGIC, Primid or Araldite PT-910 powder coatings are well suited for use with Isocryl EP-570.  

A key advantage of Isocryl EP-570 is its improved burnish resistance over conventional matting hardeners and its predecessor resins Isocryl EP-550 and EP-560.  In addition, Isocryl EP-570 has substantially improved compatibility with polyester/TGIC and epoxy resin based powder coatings.  Furthermore, ESCAT 22 is essential to the formulation to achieve good mechanical and solvent resistance properties.
