Photomer 4127
IGM Resins USA Inc. · Photomer
Photomer 4127 is a low viscosity monomer used as a reactive diluent to reduce the viscosity of oligomers. It provides excellent substrate wetting and low shrinkage during curing, making it suitable for UV/EB curable coatings, inks, and varnishes on various substrates such as metal, paper, plastic, and wood. It is particularly effective where high flexibility and good pigment wetting are required.
- Excellent flexibility
- Low viscosity
- Low shrinkage
- Compatible with pigments
- Excellent wetting properties
