The Chemistry Behind Stronger Bonds: VISIOMER® Solutions for Chemical Anchors
VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates are integral to the formulation of these reactive resin systems. They serve as reactive diluents and crosslinkers, enabling formulators to fine-tune mechanical properties, curing behavior, and adhesion performance.
VISIOMER® 1,4-BDDMA is a hydrophobic difunctional crosslinker that contributes to enhanced mechanical strength and flexibility. Its molecular structure makes it particularly suitable for non-polar resin systems, offering low viscosity and excellent miscibility with other monomers. VISIOMER® PEG 200 DMA, is a label-free crosslinker that enhances flexibility and adhesion, making it ideal for applications requiring strong bonding to damp or porous concrete surfaces. VISIOMER® TMPTMA is a trifunctional crosslinker that significantly increases crosslinking density, resulting in superior mechanical performance and thermal stability. It is especially valuable in formulations where high load-bearing capacity and resistance to environmental stress are required.In addition, VISIOMER® TRDMA, EGDMA, and 1,6-HDDMA offer versatile crosslinking options that support tailored performance profiles in demanding anchoring applications.
Smart Sealing with VISIOMER®: Advanced Methacrylate Chemistry for Durable Concrete Protection
VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates are key reactive components in two-component acrylic gel systems. Upon curing, they form hydrophilic hydrogels that swell in contact with water, effectively sealing cracks and preventing further ingress.
VISIOMER® MPEG 2005 MA W and MPEG 5005 MA W are water-soluble monomers that enhance the hydrophilicity and flexibility of the gel, allowing for efficient crack penetration. VISIOMER® MADAME and DMAPMA introduce functional groups that improve adhesion and reactivity, contributing to the mechanical robustness of the cured gel. Hydrophilic crosslinkers like VISIOMER® TRGDMA, VISIOMER® PEG200 DMA and VISIOMER® PEG 8000 DMA W are lable-free and essential for controlling water absorption and optimizing gel swelling behavior.
