(Branched) Isostearyl acrylate -liquid

NK Ester S-1800ALC is a branched alkyl acrylate monomer with low chlorine content useful as a co-monomer in coating and adhesive applications providing high hydrophobicity, low surface tension & anti-slippage. NK Ester A1800ALC is a liquid due to its branched structure making it easier to formulated than linear stearyl acrylate.

Cellulose beads made from wood-derived pulp

Viscopearl is spherical cellulose made from wood pulp. The particle size ranges from 3µm to 4mm. Biodegradable in soil and seawater. 4mm type Viscopearl degrades completely after 96 days in soil. Other properties: heat & chemical resistance, great hydrophilicity and anti-static property.   Application  Viscopearl can be used as a carrier for aromatic agents or […]

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 […]

2-hydroxyethyl acrylate

HEA is a hydroxy functional acrylic monomer which can be used in a variety of ways to produce resins that are useful in high performance coating applications. Using typical methods for the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, HEA can be used to attach hydroxy groups to an acrylic polymer backbone. The pendant hydroxyl groups can then […]
