DSM Novasynt 8880 Saturated Polyester Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary application areas for Novasynt 8880?

A: Novasynt 8880 is primarily formulated into high-performance powder coatings for architectural aluminum, industrial metal furniture, and outdoor equipment where excellent weather resistance, mechanical durability, and smooth film formation are required.


Q2: How does Novasynt 8880 differ from unsaturated polyester resins in powder coating systems?

A: Unlike unsaturated polyesters, Novasynt 8880 contains no reactive double bonds and therefore does not require free-radical curing agents. It cures via acid–epoxy crosslinking, offering improved storage stability, reduced yellowing during curing, and enhanced UV resistance in the final coating.


Q3: Which crosslinkers are typically used with Novasynt 8880?

A: Novasynt 8880 is designed to be compatible with standard glycidyl-functional crosslinkers, especially triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) and hydroxyalkyl amide (HAA) types. Selection depends on regulatory requirements, cure schedule, and performance targets such as flexibility or overbake resistance.


Q4: What is the recommended processing temperature range for extruding Novasynt 8880-based formulations?

A: Extrusion should be carried out below the resin’s softening point to avoid premature reaction or degradation — typically within a melt zone temperature range of 60–90 °C, depending on formulation composition and equipment configuration.


Q5: Is Novasynt 8880 suitable for low-cure or energy-efficient powder coating applications?

A: Yes — when paired with optimized crosslinkers and catalysts, Novasynt 8880 enables robust film formation at reduced cure temperatures (e.g., 160–180 °C), supporting sustainability goals without compromising key performance attributes like hardness or chemical resistance.
