Powder Polyester Resins for Coatings
FINEDIC products are polyester resins for powder coatings that do not contain organic solvents or water. FINEDIC are highly regarded as environmentally-friendly because they do not release VOCs when forming forming coating films and they can be recovered and reused. DIC offers a lineup of various polyester resin products matching to different applications. For blocked polyisocyanate curing, DIC offers various hydroxyl group-containing polyester resins suited to meet performance demands such as weather resistance, mechanical properties, and workability. For epoxy curing and HAA (hydroxyalkyl amide) curing, DIC provides some acid-terminal polyester resins.
