Applications

Bisomer® LMA 97 SP is a hydrophobic, mono-functional methacrylate monomer with a low Glass Transition Temperature (Tg). It is excellent at imparting flexibility when used as a polymerisable plasticiser. Bisomer® LMA 97 SP is based on a pure form of lauryl alcohol; this reduces the molecular weight distribution of the monomer when compared to the standard grade of Bisomer® LMA. The C12 lauryl methacrylate content of Bisomer® LMA 97 SP is a minimum of 96 %. The narrow molecular weight distribution of Bisomer® LMA 97 SP is often used to reduce variation in acrylic resins. Key attributes such as monomer reactivity, polydispersity and polymer solubility can all be tightly controlled when using Bisomer® LMA 97 SP. Tight control over resin attributes leads to reproducible performance in enduse applications. Acrylic resins containing Bisomer® LMA 97 SP exhibit reduced variation in properties such as viscosity, pigment wetting, chemical resistance, adhesion, hardness, sheer strength and tack. Bisomer® LMA 97 SP is a key raw material for the synthesis of high quality acrylic resins for a wide range of applications, including industrial coatings, printing inks and pressure sensitive adhesive applications.
