Vinyl Monomers for Coatings and Inks

Vinyl Methyl Oxazolidinone (VMOX) by BASF is a liquid vinyl monomer with a very low viscosity. It exhibits high reactivity in the copolymerization with acrylates and excellent adhesion on all common substrates, even at low dosages.

• It possesses low odor even in final formulations.
• It provides high color response and enhanced color brilliance.
• It offers an easy handling, excellent application properties and favorable toxicological profile.
• Vinyl Methyl Oxazolidinone (VMOX) is suitable as a reactive diluent in UV curing inks and coatings.
• It improves adhesion on low energy surfaces, and 3D printing applications benefit from improved mechanical properties.

Butyl Vinyl Ether by Nanjing Chemical Material is a monomer. It is colorless transparent liquid. It is used in coatings.

Iso Butyl Vinyl Ether by Nanjing Chemical Material is a vinyl monomer. This colorless transparent liquid is recommended for coatings.

V-Cap™ /TP by Ashland is a reactive monomer used as a versatile, low-viscosity reactive diluent. It can be handled as a super-cooled liquid and remains stable in liquid form at room temperature for extended periods. It offers faster cure speed, improved adhesion, and enhanced hardness.

• It also imparts hydrophobicity and surface activity owing to its unique seven-membered ring structure.
• V-Cap™ /TP is used in inks such as screen and inkjet inks, and in specialty coatings including vinyl flooring, wood coatings, and release coatings.

DMS V33 by Gelest (Mitsubishi Chemical) is a vinyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane. Can be employed in addition cure systems like platinum catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction and peroxide activated cure systems which involve peroxide induced free radical coupling between vinyl and methyl groups. Curing provides strength, hardness, consistency and optical properties. Applications include ceramic-, dielectric- and optical-coatings. DMS V33 complies with TSCA.

Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) by Shazand Petrochemical complex is a colorless, low-viscous, flammable liquid with an ester-like odor. Used for copolymerization and terpolymerization with other monomers, like ethylene, vinyl chloride, acrylate, maleinate, fumarate, vinyllaurate. Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) can be used as a building block to manufacture polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetals, polyvinylalcohol for water-soluble packaging films, ethylene vinyl alcohol used to produce gas barrier layers in coextruded packaging, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers for production of flexible films, moldings and insulation.

N-Vinylcarbazole by Polysciences is a vinylic monomer. Used in coatings.

N-HQ VAM by Dairen Chemical is a vinyl acetate. It is an active, colorless, and liquid phase chemical, produced by the vapor phase reaction of ethylene, acetic acid and oxygen over a catalyst. N-HQ VAM is stabilized with hydroquinone inhibitor for storage.

N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidone by Polysciences is a vinylic monomer. It is hydrophillic. it is water soluble. Used in coating.

Kowa HEVE by Kowa is a hydroxyethyl vinylether. Used in paints and coatings.
