Vinyl Monomer
The new VMOX vinyl monomer from BASF combines technical advantages with an outstanding toxicological profile. Its excellent adhesion properties enable brilliant colours in printing inks and coatings.
VMOX is especially well suited for manufacturing UV-curing inks and coatings. For instance, it is used in digital UV inkjet printing as a reactive diluent. In such applications especially, the new vinyl monomer enables innovative coating formulations with a favourable toxicological profile. Alongside inks and coatings, VMOX can also be used in adhesives and 3D printing.
UV coating of printed material: one monomer, many technical benefits
- Low viscosity of around 4 mPas
- Virtually odourless formulations possible
- High reactivity with acrylates
- Good adhesion on all common substrates – even at low dosages
- High colour brilliance
Advantageous toxicological profile
According to the classification of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), VMOX neither constitutes a “serious health hazard” nor possesses “acute toxicity”. This labelling sets the new vinyl monomer apart from conventional products. Furthermore, VMOX is REACH-registered. “With VMOX, BTC offers an innovative vinyl monomer whose benefits are impressive on every level,” comments Juan Tortosa, Distribution Manager Business Iberia & Chemicals Europe, summing up the properties of the new product.
