Allnex SETAL 189 XX-65 Polyester Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application of SETAL 189 XX-65 in coating systems?

A: SETAL 189 XX-65 is a solvent-based, medium-molecular-weight unsaturated polyester resin designed primarily for high-gloss, durable thermoset coatings—especially in coil and metal decorating applications where excellent flow, leveling, and overbake resistance are required.


Q2: Is SETAL 189 XX-65 compatible with common crosslinkers used in polyester-based coil coatings?

A: Yes, it is formulated to be compatible with standard amino resins such as melamine-formaldehyde crosslinkers, and performs well in conventional baking cycles typical for coil coating lines. Compatibility and cure response should be verified in the final formulation under actual processing conditions.


Q3: How does SETAL 189 XX-65 contribute to film performance in terms of flexibility and hardness?

A: It offers a balanced profile—providing good substrate adhesion and bendability on cold-formed metal substrates while maintaining sufficient hardness and mar resistance after full cure, making it suitable for demanding post-forming applications.


Q4: Can SETAL 189 XX-65 be used in low-VOC or high-solids formulations?

A: While originally developed for conventional solvent-borne systems, it can be adapted into higher-solids formulations through solvent selection and viscosity adjustment. However, its suitability for regulatory-compliant low-VOC systems depends on the full formulation—including solvents, crosslinkers, and additives—and must be evaluated case by case.
