Olefins / Unsaturated Monomers

Based on 12 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Olefins, or unsaturated monomers, typically appear as clear, colorless liquids or solids. Their key features include excellent chemical resistance, flexibility, and the ability to create crosslinked structures. In coatings, unsaturated monomers are ideal for applications requiring durability, enhanced adhesion, and high-temperature resistance, making them suitable for automotive, industrial, and protective coatings. 

Available in both solvent-based and water-based systems, these monomers cater to a wide range of coating formulations. As regulations tighten on VOC emissions, unsaturated monomers continue to evolve, offering more eco-friendly options without sacrificing performance.
