Less Hazardous Composite Resins

Styrene, commonly used in composite resins as reactive diluent, is associated with environmental and health concerns. Selected VISIOMER® Methacrylates can be an effective alternative, delivering similar performance with reduced risk. These methacrylates  significantly reducing harmful emissions, making them the ideal choice for manufacturers committed to health and safety.

BPA-Free Can Coatings

Addressing the need for BPA-free solutions in food and beverage packaging is critical due to the health risks associated with bisphenol A. Methacrylate-based coating resins offer a safe, BPA-free alternative, ensuring product safety without compromising performance. These coatings provide excellent adhesion, flexibility, and resistance.

Low Odor Solutions for Reactive Adhesives

Traditional monomers like MMA (methyl methacrylate) often come with strong odors, potential health risks, and high flammability. VISIOMER® Methacrylates, such as VISIOMER® BNMA (benzyl methacrylate) and VISIOMER® IPGMA (isopropylidene glycerol methacrylate), offer low-odor solutions with high vapor pressure, resulting in low flammability. for reactive acrylic adhesives. These alternatives maintain high reactivity and performance while ensuring a more pleasant and safer working environment.

We at Evonik VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates are committed  towards sustainable solutions, playing a crucial role in protecting both the environment and human health. By replacing harmful substances like styrene and BPA, and offering low-odor alternatives for adhesives, these methacrylates support manufacturers in their commitment to environmental responsibility. They promote safer industrial practices, aligning with our global sustainability goals.
