N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine

HEP is an intermediate in the manufacture of polyurethane catalysts, corrosion inhibitors, surfactants, synthetic fibers, pharmaceuticals, etc. This relatively basic substance has a low explosive limit.

Coated grades aluminum paste

Coated grades aluminum paste are produced by applying special acrylic resin coatings to the design-grade microleafs. This heightens chemical resistance, voltage resistance, adhesion, and other properties. In each grade, the resin types and thickness provide a specific combination of superior properties, functions and performance.

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 […]

Aluminum Paste Series PV, TR, LR, THR, HR, CR

Coated grades aluminum paste are produced by applying special acrylic resin coatings to the design-grade microleafs. This heightens chemical resistance, voltage resistance, adhesion, and other properties. In each grade, the resin types and thickness provide a specific combination of superior properties, functions and performance.  

2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate phosphate

Kowa’s line of specialty monomers is available to add a functional phosphate group to the acrylic backbone found in many emulsion polymer systems. Such functionality can impart adhesion promotion to various substrates, corrosion resistance, and improved film strength. Besides polymers systems, 2-HEMA-Phosphate can be used in pigment systems to promote adhesion. Also, commonly known as […]
