Evonik (Darmstadt, Germany) introduces Visiomer Hema-P 100, a phosphate methacrylate monomer that is nonmigratory, and has long-lasting effects. Hema-P may be used as a monomer for emulsion and solution polymers, vinyl ester and unsaturated polyester composites, acrylic adhesives, acrylic water proofing resins and cast PMMA. Applications include coatings for wood, textiles and paper, direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings, structural adhesives, waterproofing roofs and parking decks and architectural cast PMMA.
Incorporated by polymerization, Hema-P provides transparent flame retardancy, improves adhesion and reduces corrosion, without compromising transparency or mechanical properties. It is an effective adhesion promoter and anti-corrosive agent. It can also improve dispersibility and act as a complexing agent. According to Evonik, Visiomer Hema-P 100 stands out due to its high monoester content which helps ensure maximum performance.
The phosphate methacrylate monomer is also available in a low viscosity 70% solution in MMA for easier handling. Visiomer Hema-P 70M and the new Visiomer Hema-P 100 are available globally.
