The xylene extension reduces handling viscosity while preserving full reactivity of the polyamide backbone, resulting in films with excellent build, flexibility, and long-term protection against moisture and corrosive attack.

Applications
- Protective primer and finish coatings on structural steel and pipelines — UAE and Saudi Arabia industrial facilities
- Tank, vessel, and pipeline lining systems requiring film build and flexibility
- Masonry, pool, and infrastructure surface coatings across GCC construction projects
- Two-component adhesive systems for industrial maintenance
- Cold-curing, solvent-borne anti-corrosion coating programmes on steel structures
- Protective coatings for petrochemical and oil & gas infrastructure in Saudi Arabia
Key properties
- Superior film build with high flexibility and impact toughness
- Strong resistance to water ingress and corrosive environments
- Stable colour and gloss retention over extended service life
- Excellent wetting of pigments and substrate surfaces
- Extended pot-life — practical for large-area application by brush, roller, or spray
- Compatible with aromatic hydrocarbon diluents for viscosity adjustment
- DMP-30 compatible for cure acceleration
Usage and recommendations
DMP-30 (RAYCURE K54) accelerator may be incorporated at low levels to reduce ambient cure time without adversely affecting pot-life, film flexibility, or colour development. Ensure thorough mixing of resin and hardener before application. Use aromatic hydrocarbons or diacetone alcohol for thinning. Avoid ketones and esters — they form complexes during storage. Mix ratio with RAYPOXY YR-128: contact Raykem for formulation guidance.
