VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates for Flooring Resins: Performance, Flexibility & Sustainability
MMA-based flooring resins are renowned for their excellent curing speed and mechanical performance. However, traditional MMA systems can present challenges in indoor environments due to their strong odor and hazard potential.
To address this, VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates offer user-friendly, low-odor, and low-hazard alternatives. These include VISIOMER® Terra IPGMA, VISIOMER® BNMA, and VISIOMER® Terra IBOMA, which support low-VOC and sustainable formulations while maintaining high performance.
For fine-tuning mechanical properties, difunctional crosslinkers such as VISIOMER® TRGDMA and VISIOMER® 1,4-BDDMA provide excellent strength and durability. The trifunctional methacrylate VISIOMER® TMPTMA cures rapidly and contributes to the formation of rigid polymer networks, enhancing structural integrity. VISIOMER® PEG 200 DMA, also available as a partially bio-based VISIOMER® Terra PEG 200 DMA variant, adds flexibility.
Together, these VISIOMER® monomers empower the development of high-performance, customizable, and environmentally responsible flooring systems tailored for industrial and commercial use.
