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

Product specifications:

• Chemical name:  4-Vinylcyclohexene oxide
• Molecular weight:  124.18
• Color, Pt-Co Units:  50 MAX
• Acid Number, % by wt:  0.15 MAX
• Water, % by wt:  0.1 MAX
• Purity, GC-%:  97 MIN

Applications

• Cationic UV curable coating for food can coating, cationic UV curable flexo-ink and resist applications
• Reactive diluent for cationic UV/ UV curable epoxy compounds
• Raw material for epoxy functional Silicone resins/oils/rubbers by hydrosilylation
• Raw material for polyvinyl resins
