Main Applications
- UV-Curable Coatings: Used in protective, decorative, and industrial coatings that require hardness and surface durability.
- Printing Inks: Applied in UV-curable inks for packaging, labels, and other printed materials.
- Adhesives: Used in specialty and pressure-sensitive adhesive formulations to adjust polymer properties.
- Optical and Electronic Materials: Can be incorporated into selected resin systems for applications requiring controlled surface and mechanical properties.
- Polymer Modification: Used as a reactive monomer to modify hardness, weatherability, and other performance characteristics.
- Specialty Resins: Suitable for research, formulation development, and industrial polymer production.
Safety and Storage
Isobornyl Acrylate should be handled according to its current Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Acrylate monomers may cause skin or eye irritation and allergic skin sensitization. Avoid direct contact and inhalation of vapors or mists. Use suitable chemical-resistant gloves, protective eyewear, protective clothing, and adequate ventilation. Store in a tightly closed, appropriately labeled container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, ignition sources, direct sunlight, and incompatible materials. Follow the supplier's recommended temperature range and inhibitor requirements, and do not remove the polymerization inhibitor unless specifically instructed by qualified personnel.
Product Description
Isobornyl Acrylate (IBOA), CAS No. 5888-33-5, is a specialty acrylate monomer characterized by its bulky bicyclic isobornyl group and reactive acrylate functionality. It is widely used as a functional monomer and reactive diluent in the production of high-performance polymers and radiation-curable materials. Its molecular structure helps balance hardness, flexibility, adhesion, and dimensional stability, making it a valuable ingredient in formulations where surface performance and durability are important.
