Stahl introduces RelcaLink HX-1 crosslinker at the European Coatings Show 2025

Thursday 27. March 2025 - Stahl, the global leader in speciality coatings for flexible materials, participates in the European Coatings Show (ECS) from March 25 until March 27 to present its latest innovations in speciality coatings. This includes the introduction of RelcaLink HX-1

A new hyperfunctional polycarbodiimide crosslinker suited for various applications in performance coatings.Introducing advancements in crosslinking technology
Crosslinkers enhance the durability and performance of coatings but often come with regulatory and health concerns. The new RelcaLink HX-1 crosslinker offers a next-generation solution, maintaining the effectiveness of traditional crosslinkers while significantly reducing hazardous labelling requirements.
RelcaLink HX-1 is a polymeric crosslinker developed to provide improved performance and versatility in modern performance coatings applications, such as automotive interiors, furniture and flooring. Its polycarbodiimide-based formulation results in a high crosslinking density, ensuring that coatings achieve exceptional durability, stain resistance, and flexibility without compromising to safety.
The benefits of RelcaLink HX-1 include:
Non-hazardous labelling
Extended pot-life for greater processing flexibility
Fast reactivity at room temperature, which supports a more sustainable and energy-conscious production process
Good anti-staining properties
The best substitution of polyaziridines
Suitable for a great variety of applications in performance coatings
