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.

BR-573M is a tin-free difunctional aliphatic polyether urethane methacrylate. BR-573M is an excellent candidate to consider for use in tough 3D printing resins or nail gel applications. As a primary oligomer, BR-573M offers excellent properties of hardness, adhesion and optical clarity. As a co-oligomer, BR-573M can be used to improve an existing formulation’s adhesion and impact resistance. This product has low skin sensitivity and good optical properties.
Flexible polyether urethane methacrylate oligomer diluted in 20% IBOMA with a low modulus, good adhesion to a variety of substrates, and excellent elasticity. The high molecular weight of the backbone structure offers improved elasticity and rebound versus similar high elongation materials. The low modulus of the material allows for a high degree of flexibility comparable to silicone-based materials. The compressibility of the material also offers potential usage in gasket and sealing applications.
BR-1044MB is a bio-based polyether urethane methacrylate with a majority (>80%) percentage of bio-based content. Compared to similar petrochemical-based materials, BR-1044MB combines a lower viscosity with similar flexibility, elasticity, and softness. This resin brings excellent resiliency with impact properties to formulations along with improved compatibility of all components.
Bio-based oligomer with high bio-based content, low modulus, and low temperature flexibility.
BR-582 is a 2.4 average functional aliphatic polyether urethane acrylate. As with other BR-500 series materials, BR-582 is designed to offer a balance of benefits between toughness and flexibility. While only slightly lower in tensile strength and hardness than BR-571, BR-582 has almost double the total elongation at break. BR-582 responds quickly to UV cure, owing to its elevated functionality.
Designed for hard coatings, OPVs, and printing inks. Very good chemical and thermal resistance.
BR-1041MB is a biobased polyether urethane methacrylate oligomer with a substantial amount of biobased content and is tin-free. This is a harder version of BR-1043MB. This oligomer has a good balance of toughness and flexibility. It has the ability to adhere to a variety of plastic substrates. The biobased backbone, methacrylate functionality and tin-free nature make this an excellent choice for consumer applications with low irritancy.
