Products in Monomers & Intermediates: Esters

TYTAN™TM AP910 is an ethyl citrate zirconium that can be formulated as an adhesion promoter for printing inks, a crosslinker for paints, as well as a catalyst for esterification. Due to its proprietary chelated structure, TYTAN™ AP910 shows a delayed reaction at ambient temperature and thus facilitates the storage stability of inks. Compared with organo-titanate adhesion promoters, it shows good compatibility with PVB, CAB, and CAP inks and provides minimal discoloration during the sterilizing process in the printing of milk pouches.

4-Acetoxystyrene is part of Aether's fine & specialty chemicals portfolio. It is useful as an advanced intermediate for applications in the electronics industry.

Di-n-butyl maleate (DBM) is an internal plasticizer that can be copolymerized with monomers such as vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, and styrene. Copolymers are commonly used in coatings, films, adhesives, rubbers, pigment fixatives, etc. When this product is used in polyvinyl chloride products, it can make the products soft, smooth and transparent. It has strong solvent capacity and can effectively plasticize resins that are generally not easy to plasticize (such as acrylonitrile and methacrylate resins).

ADDAPT PolySurF ACE is a solvent free polymerisable additive. It imparts benefits like: acid resistance, high gloss, excellent pigment wetting, water repellence, film appearance, UV stability and improved adhesion to thermoplastics. It is the Acrylic Acid adduct of the epoxy ester of Versatic Acid.

Meracryl™ HPMA 98 is a functional monomer that can copolymerize with other monomers to produce copolymers with a hydroxy group in the side chain. Hydroxyesters are recommended for heat or room temperature cured coatings with permanent marring and solvent resistance, high gloss retention and weatherability.

Meracryl™ Hema 98 is a functional monomer that can copolymerize with other monomers to produce copolymers with a hydroxy group in the side chain. Hydroxyesters are recommended for heat or room temperature cured coatings with permanent marring and solvent resistance, high gloss retention and weatherability.
