Specialty acrylic monomers are a critical component of many
products serving marketplaces that are constantly changing.
One of their application is their polymerization to create pure acrylic polymers
with specific properties for solvent-based and water-based coatings & inks.
But they can also be polymerized to produce polyurethane-acrylic copolymers.
An other application is their use as crosslinkers when mixing acrylics
and isocyanates.
Acrylic polymers and copolymers produced with specialty
acrylates distinguish themselves in all coatings applications through their excellent
balance of properties.
By selecting the most appropriate specialty
monomer and by modifying its proportions,
coatings formulators are able to improve:

... but also
reduce viscosity and provide
higher reactivity.
Specialty acrylates have a wealth of possible applications.
Innovative applications of specialty
monomers can
provide tailor-made solutions to many challenges in:
