enable a step change in performance for OSM powder coatings for industrial applications, delivering several important user advantages. In particular, unlike other commercially available OSM low-gloss powder coating solutions, which usually offer cure temperatures of 200°C, DSM’s newly launched Uralac OSM resin system can be cured for 10 minutes at 180°C or 20 minutes at 160°C, enabling a lower manufacturing carbon footprint. In addition, the new Uralac OSM resins successfully tackles the common drawback of poor reproducibility
