As a bio-monomer, EcoMer can partially replace a wide variety of petrochemicals such as acrylate and vinyl monomers. An example of an acrylate monomer is butyl acrylate, which is used to make polymers that are used in many industrial applications including paints, adhesives, plastics, inks, toners, plasticizers and surfactants.
With the uncertain cost of petrochemicals like acrylate and vinyl monomers, EcoMer provides a new platform for developing paints, inks and toners at a predictable cost.
