VCMX (Vinyl Cyclohexene Mono Oxide) is recommended to lower the viscosity of cationic UV curing systems. The range of applications is wide, but VCMX finds its primary function as a raw material for the production of functional silicone resins. VCMX contains both radical and cationic functionalities.
Product characteristics:
Cationic UV curable resin
Low viscosity and reactive diluent for epoxy resin formulation
Many advantages against a radical UV curable system: low shrinkage, low skin irritation, fast cure, thin film and no oxygen inhibition
