Reichhold’s FINE-CLAD product line includes glycidyl-functional acrylic and hydroxyl-functional polyester resin systems.  Acrylic resins act in powder coating applications as primary film-forming resins, crosslinkers, and additives. These systems include superdurable, multi-cure, dual component, and weatherable hybrid. Each has distinct characteristics that allow for the manufacture of powders that meet customers’ individual demands.   Acrylic resins are used as primary film-forming resins in automotive applications such as full-body clear coats, aluminum-wheel coatings, and decorative coatings for brass hardware.  As crosslinkers for polyester resins in matte coatings, they act as gloss-control agents. As additives, acrylic resins promote improved flow, leveling, and enhanced stain and chemical resistance in polyester hybrid, polyester TGIC and polyurethane powder coatings. Reichhold also offers several innovative Polyester resin systems engineered for high-performance, low-gloss powder coatings.   Reichhold is the world’s largest supplier of unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins for composite applications, and a leading supplier of coating resins for the industrial, transportation, building and construction, marine, consumer and graphic arts markets.
