Description
Isobornyl methacrylate (CAS 7534-94-3) is a methacrylate monomer derived from isoborneol, commercially available under trade names including SR 423, SR 423A, Acryester IBX, and Light Ester IB-X. It carries no E-code designation and is classified under HS code 29161400.
In UV-curable coatings and adhesives, isobornyl methacrylate functions as a reactive diluent, reducing viscosity while co-polymerizing into the crosslinked network to deliver high hardness and low shrinkage. It is also used in acrylic polymer formulations for printing inks, where its bicyclic ring structure contributes rigidity and elevated glass transition temperature to the cured film.
This product is supplied as a liquid grade meeting REACH registration requirements for the European market. Standard packaging formats include drums and IBCs. Procurement teams should confirm supplier documentation for residual monomer content and inhibitor levels when specifying for sensitive coating or personal care applications.
