Various Bomar® oligomers can be used to impart flexibility to coatings, inks, and pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). These flexible oligomers can be used as the main oligomer or as a co-oligomer and are used in applications ranging from thermoformable coatings to highly stretchable inks and 3D printing resins.
Flexibility in an oligomer is important for 3D printing resins as it can print fine details across a range of material options with an excellent surface finish. In addition, many of our materials are jettable for multi-colored 3D models. Additionally, our polyether acrylates typically have very good overall dynamic properties and surface cure.
