Products in Solvents & Carriers: Coupling Agent

VISIOMER® TRGDMA (triethylene glycol dimethacrylate) is a dimethacrylate monomer with low viscosity, making it well-suited for use as a crosslinking agent in free radical polymerization. Additionally, it serves as an adhesion promoter and hardener for PVC plastisols, as well as a component in reactive resins. This versatile compound finds applications in a wide range of industries, including 3D printing, adhesives and sealants, coatings, construction, personal care, and healthcare, as well as plastics and rubber.

EBECRYL® 160, a reactive diluent, is a staple in ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) energy-curable coatings and inks. This versatile compound imparts crosslinking to coatings and inks, maintaining flexibility and toughness. Among common triacrylate diluents in energy-curable formulations, EBECRYL® 160 leads in reactivity and viscosity reduction of oligomers. Compatible with a broad spectrum of acrylated resins used in UV/EB curing applications, EBECRYL® 160's attributes, including hardness, abrasion resistance, and high gloss, contribute to its popularity in overprint varnishes, inks, coatings, and electronic applications like photoresists.

K-FLEX® XM-B301 is a low-viscosity, acetoacetate functional reactive diluent with excellent compatibility with a wide range of resins. It is primarily recommended for use in epoxy/polyamide primers, but can also be used in systems crosslinked with amino resins or polyisocyanates.

EBECRYL® 114 is a clear liquid radiation-curable coating designed as a monomer and active diluent. Tailored for markets like paints and coatings and printing and packaging, it boasts a low carbon footprint, VOC-free, and solvent-free attributes. Noteworthy features include exceptional adhesion, improved flexibility, and a prolonged pot life. Ideal for various printing techniques such as flexography, gravure, and screen printing, its compatibility extends to plastics. Application methods encompass curtain coating, gravure coating, and roller techniques.

CoatOSil™ T-Cure Silane Oligomer may be useful in the development of coating formulations where reactivity with a mercapto silane is desired. This patented oligomer is low in odor compared to standard mercapto silanes and can display a trio of reactive chemistries. In addition to thiol groups, silanol and diols are generated upon the hydrolysis of the silane. It behaves as a reactive diluent within a coating formulation, and is recommended for industrial maintenance applications, automotive, appliance, and coil applications; epoxy primers for metals and flooring, and aurospace and automotive refinishing applications.
