Application

1. IBOA has a high refractive index and can be used to prepare highly transparent coatings, especially for applications that require high transparency, such as in the optical and electronic fields. The products produced have good transparency and can be used to make contact lenses.

2. Coatings; IBO(M)A has good compatibility with various polymers in photocurable coatings. It is used as an active diluent in radiation-curable coatings (inks, etc.). It can effectively reduce the viscosity of the system and is suitable for high-solid coating systems to reduce VOC emissions. At the same time, it can improve the adhesion, shrinkage, impact resistance and other physical properties of the coating. It is a low-volatility, low-toxic and low-irritation active diluent, which is conducive to improving the production and construction environment of the coating. Due to its special alkyl structure, it can form polymers with unique properties with many monomers. It is an excellent monomer that combines hardness and flexibility. Specific products include metal glazing, glass flexible plastic film , engineering plastics, optical fiber coatings, powder coatings. Weather-resistant industrial coatings, ship anti-corrosion coatings, bridge anti-corrosion coatings.

3. Manufacture of high Tg thermoplastic acrylic resins.

4. As an epoxy resin diluent, it can significantly reduce the internal stress of the coating, reduce the volume shrinkage of the coating, and significantly improve the adhesion, shrinkage, scratch resistance, weather resistance, impact resistance and other characteristic indicators of the radiation-cured coating without reducing its hardness and flexibility.

5. The refractive index of IBOA polymers is high, and the products manufactured have good transparency and can be used to make contact lenses.

6. Photocurable inks, such as screen printing inks and packaging inks.

7. Pressure-sensitive adhesives, such as label glue, medical patch glue, pressure-sensitive adhesive thickeners, electronic adhesives, flexible circuit board packaging glue, optical glue, display adhesives.

8. 3D printing resins, flexible photosensitive resins, stereolithography model materials.

9. Cosmetic gels, dental photocurable resins.
