Osaka Organic Chemical Industry LTD 4-HBA

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.
