Fast Dry Polyisocyanate

Fast drying polyisocyanate is based on the widely used aliphatic hexamethylene-1,6-diisocyanate (HDI) – enhanced to dry polyurethane faster. These are primarily used for high performance, fast drying polyurethane applications to improve weatherability and UV/chemical resistance.

Trimethylolpropane triacrylate

TMPTA is a trifunctional monomer used in the manufacture of plastics, adhesives, acrylic glue, anaerobic sealants, and ink. It is useful for its low volatility and fast cure response. It has the property of resistance against weather, chemical, water and abrasion.

Phenolic resin microspheres

BellPearl® Series are non-toxic, high performance phenolic resins with perfectly spherical shape. They are part of KOWA’s Microsphere series which is characterized with high molecular weight and low cross-linking density. PROPERTIES S type: A hot melt, self curing type. Soluble in solvents. Used as binder resins for moldings. Also used as thermo-setting resin. R type: Does not […]

Isobornyl acrylate

IBXA is a mono-functional reactive diluent that polymerizes when exposed to sources of free radicals. The bicyclic structure of IBXA produces polymers of increased Tg, while its mono-functionality minimizes cross-linking to provide coatings and inks with good hardness, resiliency, flexibility and impact resistance. IBXA is recommended for coatings requiring flexibility, hardness & thermal resistance, maintaining high […]

Polycarbonatediol(PCD)

Our Copolymer PCD(Poly carbonate diol) is liquid at room temperature, and offers heat/hydrolysis/chemical/abrasion resistance, good softness and lower crystallinity.  The solubility and elasticity are also excellent comparing to standard solid homopolymer PUD. T5652, G4672 and G3452 have 400-900% solubility for measure solvents(Toluene, DMF, Ethyl acetate MEK etc.) This product is recommended for polyurethane dispersions, polyurethane […]

Hydroxypropyl methacrylate

HPMA is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent, sweet odor. The product contains low levels of a polymerization inhibitor along with small amounts of methacrylic acid, and propylene oxide. HPMA is used in the manufacture of acrylic polymers for adhesives, inks, and coatings for automotive, appliance and metal applications. The added hydroxyl groups improve adhesion […]

Cross-linked acrylic wide-dispersing particles

Chemisnow is the brand name for a range of functional spherical fine particles developed through its unique polymerization technology. With the use of these properties, acrylic fine particles can be used for light diffusing agent, matting agent, anti-blocking agent for films, finish appearance enhancement agent, fluidity adjusting agent, and other applications.

Cross-linked acrylic mono-dispersing particles

Chemisnow is the brand name for a range of functional spherical fine particles developed through its unique polymerization technology. With the use of these properties, acrylic fine particles can be used for light diffusing agent, matting agent, anti-blocking agent for films, finish appearance enhancement agent, fluidity adjusting agent, and other applications.

Cross-linked acrylic middle-dispersing particles

Chemisnow is the brand name for a range of functional spherical fine particles developed through its unique polymerization technology. With the use of these properties, acrylic fine particles can be used for light diffusing agent, matting agent, anti-blocking agent for films, finish appearance enhancement agent, fluidity adjusting agent, and other applications.

2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate

HEMA is an ester of methacrylic acid, soluble in water and has relatively low volatility. It copolymerizes easily with a variety of monomers, incorporates cross-link sites, imparts corrosion, fogging and abrasion resistance, and the hydroxyl group improves adhesion. It is also a key raw material for acrylic polyols.
