Application
Isobornyl Methacrylate, stabilized with MEHQ, is a clear, colorless to yellow liquid monomer characterized by its ability to enhance polymer systems through a unique combination of hardness and flexibility. This hydrophobic acrylate monomer, notable for its bridging ring structure, is widely used in polymerization processes to create various coatings and plastic products. Its polymers are prized for properties such as high viscosity, excellent compatibility, low volatility, and minimal toxicity, along with notable resistance to UV light, water, and chemicals. These attributes, coupled with low adverse biological effects, make Isobornyl Methacrylate particularly suitable for the production of acrylic resins with high glass transition temperatures (Tg). It serves as an effective thickening agent, base material, reactive diluent, and curing agent in the formulation of printing inks, solvent-based high-solid content transparent coatings, and curing coatings. Additionally, it is ideal for crafting decorative protective coatings for soft plastic films made of PET, PE, and PP, as well as for engineering plastic components like PE, PP, and PC. Moreover, Isobornyl Methacrylate finds application as a plasticizer in the plastics industry and as a viscosity improver in dental resins.
