Isobornyl Acrylate (IBOA)

Isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) is a kind of acrylic ester monomer with a bridged-ring structure. It has excellent adhesion properties, good chemical resistance, and low shrinkage, making it a popular choice for use in UV-curable coatings on various substrates such as plastics, metals, and wood. IBOA is applied as an important monomer product in the printing ink formulation, solvent-based high-solid content transparent coatings, and curing coatings as a thickening agent, base material, reactive diluent, and curing agent.

IBOA can also be used as a viscosity improver in dental resin, reducing the polymerization shrinkage of resin-based dental restorative materials. When used in bone cement, it can reduce adverse biological effects during implant bonding processes.

Application & Uses

  • Widely used in the manufacturing of high-performance acrylic resins and acrylic emulsions.
  • Can be used as a co-monomer with other acrylic monomers in the preparation of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) for optical applications
  • Used as a thickening agent, base material, reactive diluent, and curing agent in printing ink formulations, solvent-based high-solid content transparent coatings, and curing coatings.
  • Suitable for producing decorative protective coatings for PET, PE, and PP soft plastic films, as well as engineering plastic components such as PE, PP, and PC.
  • Used as a plasticizer in the plastics industry.
  • Used as a viscosity improver in dental resin.
  • Used in the development of high-performance and stable polymer gate dielectrics for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs).
  • Used in the preparation of UV-curable waterborne polyurethane (WPU) by copolymerization.

Features & Benefits

  • Possesses UV resistance, water resistance, and chemical resistance, excellent adhesion properties, low shrinkage.
  • Enhances the glossiness and adhesion of coatings.
  • Improves properties such as flowability, abrasion resistance, aging resistance, and corrosion resistance of inks or coatings.
  • Acts as a reactive diluent with low volatility, low toxicity, and minimal irritability, thus advantageous for improving the production and application environment of coatings.
  • Can reduce adverse biological effects.
