Products in Resin Manufacturing

4-HBA is used for acrylic resins, adhesives, UV diluent. It is water miscible. Its OH group of co-polymer is higher reactivity than the other hydroxyalkyl monomers like HEMA and HEA because of the longer alkyl chain between OH group and polymer main chain. The 2K urethane painting with 4-HBA has higher scratch resistance and stronger mechanical properties because it can form higher crosslinking density due to highly reactive OH group. 4-HBA is also used for UV diluent application because the lower toxicity than the other hydroxyalkyl acrylates, like HEA and HPA which are classified as CMR substances in most of countries.

V-13F is registered in many countries.It has fluorine properties like water / oil repellency, low surface tension, low RI, and low gas transparency. This Product is not applicable PFOA / PFOS problem due to shorter alkyl chain so far. Please be aware these monomers are easy to volatile because F atoms induce weak intermolecular interaction. Recently these materials are studied specialty application like living radical polymerization, oligomer for nano-imprint photolithography, and synthetic opal.

GMEC is methacrylate monomer with propylene carbonate (PC) moiety. The reactivity of this monomer has been widely studied [1, 2, 3] but it seems that it has not been commercially available. Thermosetting coatings based on the cyclic carbonate-amine reaction are attractive because polyurethane coatings can be made neither isocyanate nor tin catalyst under moderate conditions like 80˚C [1, 2, next page]. That means we can make acryl urethane paint without residual isocyanate and harmful tin. In addition, PC is well used as battery electrolyte solution of ultracapacitor because of its high polarizability, electrolyte solubility, and boiling point. Therefore, the polymer having cyclic carbonate group solves great amount of electrolyte, then the solution (or gel) has high ionic conductivity [3].

V-8F is registered in many countries.It has fluorine properties like water / oil repellency, low surface tension, low RI, and low gas transparency. This Product is not applicable PFOA / PFOS problem due to shorter alkyl chain so far. Please be aware these monomers are easy to volatile because F atoms induce weak intermolecular interaction.

Osaka Organic Chemical Industry LTD STA has a very long alkyl chain moiety. Its homopolymers are called Side Chain Crystallization polymers and have not only a Tg but also a melting point (Tm), even though usual acrylic polymers do not have a Tm. The product properties are achieved by its long alkyl chain, comb-like amorphous/semi-crystal phase transition. STA is highly purified, so it can be used for emulsion polymerization due to the absence of alcohol.

OXE-30 have different two polymerization moieties, radical and cationic polymerization moieties. OXE-30 is a methacrylate analog. We can make cationic polymerizerable acrylic resin. It is well known that oxetane group has lower reactivity than epoxy group, however, we can use slight amount of epoxy group to accelerate of polymerization of oxetane group because its slowest step is ring opening reaction. We cannot offer glycidyl acrylate due to too much toxicity, so that OXE-10 is a one of the simplest structure for UV/cationic dual cure system.

Lauryl acrylate is made from renewal source so that it helps your carbon-neutral business. Our LA is a single component C12, however, our competitors’ lauryl (meth)acrylate include not only C12 lauryl, but also C14 myristyl because of its alcohol nature. Long alkyl chain moiety induces low viscosity, surface tension and polarity. LA is used for UV inkjet inks because of its soft and flexibilizing properties [1]. And it is also used for adhesives and finish coatings because of its slippage. Recently high purity LA is investigated for polymer brush made by ATRP (Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization) with Stearyl acrylate [2], or fabrication of ultrahydrophobilc on silicon wafer 3]. They are called as Side Chain Crystallization polymer, and have not only Tg, but also melting point (Tm) even though usual acrylic polymers do not have Tm.

Our IBXA is the world highest purity of isobornyl acrylate with great quality consistency. It is commonly used for painting resins, adhesives and UV diluents. Viscosity of an Acrylic Polyol (which is raw material of urethane/melamine 2K coatings) has a very high viscosity because of its hydrogen bonding. High viscosity induces low working efficiency, low solid contents and of course high VOC. Frank et al. [1] reported that polymerization hydroxyl acrylics with bulky acrylic monomers inhibit this hydrogen bond, resulting in high solids and low viscosity Acrylic Polyols. IBXA is one of the most famous bulky acrylics. IBXA have the highest Tg in mono functional acrylics (except methacrylate), so it is useful in the application that cannot use methacrylates like the adhesive industry or for UV diluents. Recently, poly(IBXA) is employed in microfluidic devices because of desirable properties, such as inertness, transparency, and resolution [2]

Dakota Gasification Company's cresylic acid is a mixture of all three isomers of cresol along with xylenols, ethylphenols, and other ingredients. It is a brownish-colored liquid with a phenol-like medicinal odor. Dakota Gas extracts its cresylic acid from the gas liquor stream produced during the gasification process.Cresylic acid produced through the gasification process creates fewer emissions than when produced from cracked petroleum oils.Cresylic acid from Dakota Gas is used as a distillation feedstock to produce individual creosol isomers.Dephenolized cresylic acid is also used in its raw form to produce wire enamel solvent.Dakota Gas is ISO 9001 certified for cresylic acid as of November 2022.
