VISIOMER® EGDMA SG (Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) is an high-purity, hydrophilic dimethacrylate monomer. It's very low viscosity makes it suitable as reactive diluent and crosslinker to improve mechanical properties in acrylic resins. In hydrogel soft contact lens it helps fine-tune the performance by increasing oxygen permeability and water uptake.
Typical Applications
- Improved adhesion in reactive coatings and composites resins
- Enhanced mechanical properties in acrylic resins
- Improved water uptake to enhance hydrogel hydration and surface wettability
- Improved oxygen permeability and water uptake in hydrogel soft lenses
- Enhanced flexibility of hydrogel lenses to improve fit and wear comfort
Benefits at a glance
- Enhanced mechanical properties
- Improved water uptake and oxygen permeability
- Flexibility of hydrogel lenses
