Monomers and Reactive Diluents for UV Curing Systems
In UV/EB radiation-curing systems, the right reactive monomer determines curing speed, adhesion, viscosity and final film properties. DECHEM acrylate monomers act as efficient reactive diluents and modifying monomers for inks, wood finishes and overprint varnishes.
2-HEA as a Fast-Curing Reactive Diluent
Low viscosity, high double-bond conversion and excellent substrate adhesion make 2-HEA ideal for UV wood coatings, plastic coatings, electronic coatings and UV inks.
HEMA for Hardness & Toughness
HEMA contributes film hardness and chemical resistance in UV systems where balanced toughness is required, such as automotive and industrial UV topcoats.
2-HPA for Low-Irritation Formulations
2-HPA offers lower skin irritation and lower volatility than lower-molecular-weight acrylates, supporting safer working environments in radiation-cured screen inks and coatings.
