Functional Acrylic Monomers for Automotive Coatings
Automotive OEM and refinish coatings demand resins with outstanding gloss retention, scratch resistance, chemical durability and outdoor weathering. DECHEM hydroxy-functional monomers provide the hydroxyl crosslinking sites needed for high-performance 2K PU and thermosetting acrylic systems.
HEMA for Clearcoats & High-Hardness Finishes
HEMA's higher Tg contributes film hardness, mar resistance and solvent tolerance in automotive OEM, machinery and coil coatings. As a primary-hydroxyl monomer it reacts rapidly with aliphatic polyisocyanates for efficient crosslinking.
HPMA for High-Solid & Extended Pot-Life Systems
HPMA offers lower resin viscosity and extended pot life in 2K PU systems, enabling higher solid content, reduced VOC and superior leveling — while the secondary hydroxyl group still achieves complete crosslinking with careful formulation.
2-HEA & 2-HPA for Flexibility and Adhesion
2-HEA adds fast-curing flexibility; 2-HPA provides controlled reactivity and excellent plastic substrate adhesion for interior and underbody applications.
