VISIOMER® - methacrylates for Paints, coatings AND PRINTING INKS

Architectural coatings are widely used to protect wooden or concrete structures from bleaching, chalking and general deterioration. Protective and decorative coatings that require excellent film-formation, adhesion, durability and gloss properties are ideally formulated with methacrylate resins. The broad portfolio of VISIOMER® methacrylate monomers allows resins producers to design virtually any and every property into their product.

Industrial coatings are the workhorses for covering the widest range of applications – heavy-duty, can and coil, wood, construction, flooring and other coatings. These are generally either solvent-based or waterborne systems. The broad portfolio of VISIOMER® methacrylate monomers enables formulators to precisely calibrate resin properties, such as adhesion, metal protection or even preservation of natural wood.

Marine and protective coatings are designed to preserve marine, infrastructure, energy, transportation and petrochemical equipment. VISIOMER® methacrylate monomers deliver essential contributions to modern coating systems.

Surface quality, tear strength, water resistance and smoothness are key paper properties that can be significantly improved with coatings. The amino-functional monomers in VISIOMER® contribute to superior adhesion of binder resins to cellulose substrates as well as to outstanding pigment dispersion properties.

Printing ink resins are true multi-tasking talents, combining properties, such as pigment wetting, adhesion to various substrates like paper or plastic films, viscosity control, surface tension properties, etc. VISIOMER® methacrylate monomers make it possible to design resins with properties that ink formulators value.
