Isobornyl Methacrylate / IBOMA

• Appearance: Clear colorless liquid

• Purity (GC): ≥ 99.2% (Industrial Standard)

• Color (Pt-Co): ≤ 30

• Acid Value: ≤ 0.05 mg KOH/g

• Moisture Content: ≤ 0.05%

• Tg (Glass Transition): ~110°C - 150°C (Homopolymer)

IBOMA is a high-performance monomer prized for its unique bicyclic structure:

• Viscosity Reduction: Significantly reduces viscosity in acrylic resins without altering solid composition, maintaining excellent flow and leveling.

• Surface Properties: Imparts high gloss, distinctness of image (DOI), and exceptional scratch resistance.

• Durability: Enhances weather resistance, chemical resistance, and hydrophobicity.

• Key Applications:                            
  • Tackifier for Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA).                            
  • Flow improver for Powder Coatings.                            
  • UV/EB Curable Coatings.

Bio-Renewable Carbon (BRC): ~71% (Derived from Pine Oil).

Biodegradability: OECD 301D Ready Biodegradability (70% in 28 days).

Low VOC: Low volatility (<0.1% at 25°C) contributes to safer work environments.
