BISOMER HPMA

Bisomer® HPMA is used extensively in the production of acrylic polyols for automotive OEM and refinish coatings as well as industrial coatings. It is non-toxic and non-yellowing. It is also used as a co-monomer in styrene based unsaturated polyesters, PMMA based acrylic resins and vinyl ester formulations in anchor bolts and chemical fixings. Bisomer® HPMA may also be used in the production of emulsion polymers in combination with other commodity methacrylates and acrylates, notably for textile coatings and textile sizes. Bisomer® HPMA is particularly useful as a hydrophobic hydroxy monomer in the production of vacuum impregnation sealants for cast aluminium components. It is also extensively used in the production of flexible, UV curable photopolymer printing plates.
