Chemical intermediates > for the printing inks industry

With high reactivity and exceptional quality and lot-to-lot consistency, they are the best choice for a wide range of UV (radical and cationic) printing inks.
 
Vinyl monomers are specialty products based on acetylene chemistry (REPPE) and in UV Printing Inks they reduce the viscosity, increase the conversion rate and improve chemical and mechanical properties.
