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.

Can Coatings for Food & Beverage

Growing regulatory and market requirements continue to drive demand for coating solutions developed without the intentional use of bisphenol A (BPA) in food and beverage packaging applications. Methacrylate-based coating resins provide an alternative option for these applications while maintaining key performance characteristics. These coatings can deliver strong adhesion, flexibility, and resistance properties to support a wide range of packaging requirements.

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 responsible solutions, playing an important 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.
