Product Description
TGIC (Triglycidyl Isocyanurate) is a highly reactive crosslinker used primarily in powder coatings, particularly polyester powder coatings. TGIC hardeners are favored in industrial applications due to their excellent chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties.
Properties
- High Reactivity: TGIC's multiple reactive sites enable it to form a robust, crosslinked network with polyester resins, providing superior mechanical and chemical resistance.
- Excellent Weatherability: Coatings cured with TGIC exhibit outstanding resistance to UV radiation and weathering, making them ideal for outdoor applications.
- Chemical Resistance: TGIC-hardened coatings resist a wide range of chemicals, including solvents, acids, and alkalis.
- Thermal Stability: The crosslinked network provides excellent thermal stability, allowing the coatings to withstand high temperatures without degrading.
- Mechanical Strength: Coatings with TGIC hardeners offer excellent hardness, flexibility, and impact resistance, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Application
Applications
- Automotive: TGIC is used in automotive coatings to provide durable, glossy finishes with high resistance to scratches, chemicals, and weathering.
- Architectural: It is used in architectural coatings for buildings and structures to ensure longevity and resistance to environmental factors.
- Appliances: TGIC-hardened coatings are used on household appliances, providing a tough, attractive finish that withstands regular use and cleaning.
- Industrial Equipment: Used in coatings for industrial machinery and equipment, offering protection against harsh operating conditions and chemical exposure.
