Acrylic esters with multiple acryloyl groups in the molecule are called multifunctional acrylates, and are widely used as raw materials for formulating ultraviolet (UV) curable and thermosetting resins.

Since launching multifunctional acrylate as a UV-curable resin ARONIX in the 1970s, we have cultivated the technology over many years. We have recently established a production technology for multifunctional acrylates using a new manufacturing method (transesterification).

This article introduces the characteristics of the new multifunctional acrylate products that can now be produced using our transesterification method.

• Glycerol triacrylate (ARONIX MT-3547)
• Ultra-high hydroxyl value PETA (ARONIX MT-3548)
• High purity DPHA (ARONIX MT-3549)
