Anti-hydrolysis Crosslinking Agent for Extreme Durability
Water-Based Crosslinkers
KSTO’s Bio-SAH™ CA302 is a high-performance, water-based polymeric carbodiimide crosslinking agent. It's specifically formulated to enhance the water, chemical, abrasion, and scratch resistance of acrylic and polyurethane dispersions. This agent also boosts adhesion to challenging substrates like metal and film, making it suitable for industrial coatings, adhesives.
Key features of Bio-SAH™ CA302 include:
- Non-toxic and VOC-free, offering an eco-friendly alternative to aziridine.
- Enhances adhesion and durability in various applications.
- Improves resistance to water, chemicals, and abrasion.
Ideal for use in water-based coatings, paints, and inks, Bio-SAH™ CA302 is a reliable choice for improving product performance and sustainability.

Practical Application

Water-Based Coatings
Enhances resistance to water, abrasion, and chemicals in coatings for metal, plastic films, and wood. Delivers long-lasting protection.

PU and Acrylic Emulsions
Improves film integrity, durability, and adhesion in waterborne polyurethane and acrylic resin dispersions, replacing hazardous crosslinkers.

Shoe Adhesives and Leather Finishes
Boosts bonding strength and hydrolysis resistance for shoes and leather coatings, ensuring longevity under wear and moisture.
Why It Works
Bio-SAH™ CA302 ensures superior crosslinking, water resistance, and environmental safety in water-based systems without toxic by-products.

High Reactivity and Film Performance
CA302 reacts efficiently with residual carboxyl groups in polyurethane or acrylic systems, enhancing hydrolysis and chemical resistance. It forms durable crosslinked networks, improving mechanical properties such as scratch resistance and abrasion durability without affecting clarity or flexibility of the film.

Eco-Friendly and Safe Alternative
Unlike traditional crosslinkers such as aziridines, CA302 is non-toxic, VOC-free, and suitable for green manufacturing. It meets modern safety and regulatory requirements without compromising performance, making it ideal for eco-conscious industrial applications.

Excellent Substrate Adhesion
CA302 not only improves the hydrolysis and chemical resistance of water-based resins, but also enhances adhesion to substrates commonly used in industrial applications—such as metal surfaces, wood, leather, and coated films. This results in stronger bonding performance and extended durability in demanding environments such as woodworking finishes, shoe adhesives, and metal coatings.
