Evonik LH748-02 Polyester Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of LH748-02 in polyester-based coating systems?

A: LH748-02 is a reactive polyester resin designed to act as a crosslinking co-resin or modifier, enhancing film hardness, flexibility balance, and chemical resistance in thermosetting polyester–triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) or hydroxyalkylamide (HAA) powder coatings.


Q2: Is LH748-02 suitable for outdoor applications?

A: Yes — due to its saturated polyester backbone and optimized molecular structure, LH748-02 contributes to excellent UV stability and weather resistance when formulated into high-performance architectural or industrial maintenance coatings.


Q3: How does LH748-02 differ from standard polyester resins used in powder coatings?

A: Unlike conventional general-purpose polyesters, LH748-02 features tailored acid value, viscosity, and glycol composition to support improved flow, reduced orange peel, and enhanced reactivity with common crosslinkers — particularly in low-cure or high-gloss formulations.


Q4: Can LH748-02 be blended with other resin types?

A: Yes — it demonstrates good compatibility with acrylics, epoxies, and certain hybrid polyester–epoxy systems; however, compatibility and cure response should be verified experimentally in the target formulation before full-scale use.


Q5: What storage conditions are recommended for LH748-02?

A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Prolonged exposure to high humidity or elevated temperatures may affect viscosity and reactivity over time.
