Products in Monomers: Plasticizer

VISIOMER® HEMA-P 70 M is a monofunctional methacrylate with a phosphate group in the side chain. It is supplied in 30% methyl methacrylate, which gives it a low viscosity and makes it easy to handle. This monomer provides superior adhesion to polar surfaces such as metals, glass, ceramics, and concrete. In direct-to-metal coatings, it enhances corrosion resistance and improves film strength. Visiomer® HEMA-P 70M can be used as a functional co-monomer in acrylic emulsions for coating resins, as well as an adhesion promoter in adhesive formulations.

VISIOMER® Terra C17,4-MA (methacrylic ester 17.4) is a methacrylate monomer with a long alkyl chain, resulting in a low glass transition temperature (Tg). This monomer is commonly used to enhance the hydrophobicity of resins, making them more resistant to water and other polar substances. In addition to its role as a hydrophobicity enhancer, VISIOMER® Terra C17,4-MA is also employed as a flexibilizer and internal plasticizer in coatings and reactive resins applications. By incorporating this monomer into formulations, manufacturers can achieve improved flexibility and enhanced performance of their coatings and reactive resins.

PHOTOMER® 4812 is a mono functional acrylate monomer, used as flexibilizing agent in coatings and inks. It will also increase water resistance properties due to its hydrocarbon backbone.

Photomer® 4039 is a monofunctional aromatic acrylate of low viscosity, low odor, moderate cure speed and classified as a mild skin irritant. Due to modification of its aromatic backbone, it has been found useful as a flexibilizer and is suggested for UV curable litho, screen and flexographic inks, clear litho coatings, and lacquers.

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).

Bisomer® LMA97 SP is a hydrophobic methacrylate monomer.

Bisomer® LMA (Lauryl Methacrylate) is a hydrophobic methacrylate monomer.

Photomer® 4035 is a monofunctional aromatic acrylate of low viscosity, moderate odor and good cure speed. Due to the Monofunctional character of its backbone, it has been found useful as a flexibilizer and as an adhesion promoter. Photomer® 4035 is recommended for use in UV/EB curable screen, flexographic inks, clear coatings and lacquers.

PHOTOMER® 4810 is used as mono functional monomer used as a flexibilizing agent in UV Radcure coatings and inks.
