Benefits

76

Makes resins more hydrophobic, thereby improving resistance against water and solvents.  

81

Provides resins with maximum hydrophobicity and resistance against water and polar media.

72

Imparts scratch and weather resistance to coatings and allows for low volatiles in solvent borne coatings.

43

Provides superior oxygen permeability and water uptake, resulting in improved wear comfort in contact lenses.

* Bio content is calculated as ratio C-number alcohol | C-number methacrylate
