VISIOMER® makes a difference in all sorts of ways and places. Discover inspiring examples in paints and coatings, automotive, construction, adhesives, and cosmetic applications – just to name a few.

Adhesives & Sealants

VISIOMER® methacrylates are preferred comp-onents for anaerobic and structural adhesives due to their broad spectrum of properties. They enable fast curing, low odor and easy tailoring of adhesion and cohesion.

Composites

Evonik's methacrylate monomers are widely used as reactive diluents, crosslinkers, and raw materials for polymer synthesis in polymer composites.

Paints & Coatings

VISIOMER® methacrylates provide weather resistance, scratch resistance and several desirable functionalities like freeze-thaw stability, wet adhesion, associative thickening and RT crosslinking to decorative coatings.

Construction

VISIOMER® methacrylates are preferred to replace hazardous chemicals in construction applications due to their low toxicity, high reactivity and low vapor pressure.

Oil & Gas

Chemical solutions are increasingly becoming a critical technology for improving flow properties in oil and gas. Here, methacrylate monomers help solve flow-related problems.

Textiles

Methacrylates offer various advantages as binders for a host of textile and non-woven applications. The products have a broad Tg and property range.

Plastics & Elastomer

The advantage of using VISIOMER® Methacryl-ates as coagents in peroxide or electron beam induced crosslinking is their ability to improve the crosslinking efficiency.

Paper & Water

Coating is an important lever for improving paper quality. Key properties, such as print quality, surface protection and increased resistance can all be improved with specific coatings.

Health & Personal Care

Health & personal care covers a broad range of applications such as feminine care, cosmetics/hair care products, dental compo-unds, pharmaceuticals and contact lenses.

Emulsions

Due to low-VOC regulations, emulsion polymers typically hold a strong position in coatings for automotive, wood and construction applications.

Emulsifiers, Dispersant & Rheology Modifiers

Overcoming special challenges often requires a careful selection of methacrylates. The properties and use of the methacrylates significantly influences the performance of the end product. Due to their unique chemical structures.

Intermediate for synthesis

Intermediates are needed for organic synthesis in various applications that involve methacrylate monomer synthesis as well as complex organic structures.

Plastics

Methacrylate monomers are used in the production and modification of a wide variety of polymers – mainly in cast sheet, methacrylate molding compounds and graft copolymers as impact modifiers for thermoplastics. Further application fields include artificial marble, PVC modifiers and PVC plastisols.
