Pure monomer resins are chemical compounds with polymerization capabilities that are employed in a variety of industries, especially in polymerization processes. These resins are composed of a single kind of monomer molecule, which makes them highly reactive and capable of forming long molecular chains.

Applications

In adhesives, resins are used in hot melts, pressure sensitive tapes and labels, construction mastics, and many specialty applications. Pure monomer resins are also excellent tackifiers and grip improver compatibilization aids in the rubber and tire market. In addition, pure monomer resins have found utility in coatings, investment wax casting compounds, thermoset/thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) modification, hydrophobic sealants, and coatings modification, hydrophobic sealants, and coatings.
