VISIOMER® TMCHMA
Building block for low VOC Coatings and Adhesive applications
Evonik offers a wide range of specialty methacrylates and strives to develop innovation-driven solutions
that bring value to our customers’ business. Among these is the specialty methacrylate VISIOMER®
TMCHMA (3,3,5-trimethyl cyclohexyl methacrylate), which is used in both adhesive and coating
applications.
VISIOMER® TMCHMA offers many benefits when incorporated into your polymer backbone, including:
Low viscosity in solvent-based coatings (high solid monomer)
High Tg of 127 °C
Excellent chemical, heat and water resistance
Excellent weatherability
High abrasion resistance
HIGH SOLIDS RESINS
To produce high solids and low VOC (volatile organic compound) coatings, VISIOMER® TMCHMA is an
excellent building block due to its bulky side chain. Compared to VISIOMER® IBOMA, an established high
solid monomer, the incorporation of VISIOMER® TMCHMA into resins leads to equal performance in all
relevant film properties like hardness, gloss, flexibility and chemical resistance.
Adhesives applications
No matter the application, whether in the automotive,
construction or electronic industry, adhesives always
play a crucial role. In these applications, VISIOMER®
TMCHMA is an ideal candidate due to its high glass
transition temperature and excellent mechanical
properties. VISIOMER® TMCHMA acts as a reactive
diluent in reactive adhesives and shows good
adhesion on different substrates.
