VESTANAT® EP-M 60 — High Performance Self-crosslinking Binder for Scratch-resistant Coatings
The VESTANAT® EP-M series is our portfolio of sole IPMS-based PUR adducts engineered to give formulators greater flexibility in designing high-performance coatings. These binders provide excellent processing adaptability, enabling optimized performance across different substrates, curing conditions and application requirements.
VESTANAT® EP-M 60 is a self-crosslinking binder developed for formulating highly scratch-resistant, chemically durable coating systems. It can be cured at room temperature or elevated temperatures using suitable catalysts (available on request), offering formulators broad process flexibility.
Typical Applications
Clear Coats (Automotive OEM/refinish, wood, plastic, maintenance)
- Provides high transparency, long lasting gloss retention, excellent protection against wear, chemicals, and weathering.
- Suitable for multi-substrate systems requiring a durable, high-quality finish.
2K PUR Coatings (as a cocrosslinker)
- Enhances hardness, chemical resistance, and film durability when combined with compatible polyurethane systems.
These versatile application possibilities make VESTANAT® EP-M 60 a valuable component for modern coating formulations across multiple industries.
Benefits at a glance
- Suitable for elevated temperature curing – Provides excellent reactivity and stability at higher curing temperatures, enabling robust film formation and improved mechanical strength, and long-term coating durability.
- Outstanding scratch resistance – The self-crosslinking structure forms a hard, resilient surface that significantly reduces visible wear, abrasion and surface damage over time —ideal for scratch resistant clear coats.
- Excellent chemical resistance and anti-graffiti effect – Helps to create coatings that withstand exposure to chemicals and allows easier removal of graffiti or surface contaminants without degrading appearance or film integrity.
- Full performance with compatible resins – When formulated with compatible binder systems, it enchances mechanical, chemical, and aesthetic properties , ensuring consistent high-quality coating performance.
- Decontaminable – Cured surfaces can be effectively cleaned and restored even after exposure to challenging substances, supporting long-term use in demanding industrial or maintenance environments.
Together, these benefits make VESTANAT® EP-M 60 a reliable, high-performance binder for coatings that must withstand tough mechanical and environmental conditions.
