VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates for Refinish Coatings
Automotive refinish coatings typically consist of a combination of methacrylate resins,to which Evonik offers a wide range of methacrylate monomers, and diisocyanates. They interact to form a flexible and durable finish. To achieve a high-gloss finish and improve leveling, high-solids monomers like VISIOMER® Terra IBOMA and VISIOMER® c-HMA are commonly incorporated. With its high bio-content VISIOMER® Terra IBOMA enables the formulation of high-solids coatings with low VOC emissions, fostering sustainability and performance simultaneously.
