IBOMA is one kind of outstanding monomer which extremely unifies hardness and flexibility. As for its molecular structure and characteristic, copolymer has high gloss, good gloss distinctness of image, mar resistance, water and solvents resistance and weather resistance. Its hydroscopic property is also obviously lower than MMA.
Acrylic resin including IBOMA has good compatibility with polyester, alkyd resin, as well as many resins.
When it is used in powder coating, it can improve agglomerate, appearance and gloss of coating, enhances stability and leveling property of powder coating, reduce melt viscosity of powder coating.
