Hydroxy monomer : HEMA
Typical applications include: light curing polymer systems and high performance coatings for high gloss retention that will enhance weathering ability and scratching properties.Other applications include: paints, photosensitive resins, contact lenses, adhesives, printing inks, and multiple binders. HEMA has an excellent performance as an adhesion promoter for metal coatings.
Hydroxy monomer : HEA
HEA is a monomer with high purity levels and low acid levels which provide high performance versatility and a freedom of design, required for coatings and resins applications.HEA contains both vinyl and hydroxyl functionality, and through its hydroxyl functionality, improved adhesion and water solubility can be achieved.
