Evonik Launches VISIOMER® HEMA-P 100: An Innovative Flame Retardant Monomer

Evonik Launches VISIOMER® HEMA-P 100: An Innovative Flame Retardant Monomer

(IN BRIEF) Evonik has introduced VISIOMER® HEMA-P 100, a groundbreaking phosphate methacrylate monomer known for its nonmigratory and long-lasting effects. This innovative monomer enhances transparency while providing flame retardancy, improved adhesion, and corrosion reduction. It serves as an effective adhesion promoter and anti-corrosive agent, offering improved dispersibility and complexing capabilities. VISIOMER® HEMA-P is versatile and finds application in various sectors, including coatings, composites, adhesives, waterproofing, and architectural casting. Its high monoester content ensures maximum performance, and unlike traditional additives, it maintains transparency and mechanical properties while delivering flame retardancy. The low viscosity 70% solution in MMA, VISIOMER® HEMA-P 70M, also enhances ease of handling, making these products available globally. Further details can be found at www.visiomer.com.

(PRESS RELEASE) DARMSTADT, 18-Jan-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Evonik introduces VISIOMER® HEMA-P 100 to the market, a phosphate methacrylate monomer that is nonmigratory, and its effects are long-lasting. Incorporated by polymerization, HEMA-P provides transparent flame retardancy, improves adhesion, and reduces corrosion. It is an effective adhesion promoter and anti-corrosive agent. VISIOMER® HEMA-P can improve dispersibility and act as a complexing agent.

VISIOMER® HEMA-P is versatile and 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.

VISIOMER® HEMA-P stands out due to its high monoester content which helps ensure maximum performance.

Unlike traditional additives, VISIOMER® HEMA-P provides flame retardancy without compromising transparency or mechanical properties.

VISIOMER® HEMA-P 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.
