15 Oct SPECIFIC POLYMERS expands its portfolio of biobased products with new functional Polyethylene Glycol references

Key Features of Polyethylene Glycol references

Product Highlights

• SP-1P-7-012_B9 and SP-1P-7-013_B9 are biobased polyethylene glycol di(meth)acrylates (Mn ~ 1500–2000 g/mol), designed as flexible crosslinkers for radical and UV polymerization. 

• SP-1P-7-014_B8 is a biobased glycerin ethoxylated trimethacrylate. With a hydrophilic PEG backbone and reactive (meth)acrylate groups, it provides elasticity, low shrinkage, and excellent compatibility in UV- and thermally-curable systems. 

These three R&D products are particularly well-suited for hydrogels, 3D printing resins, and soft coatings, enabling the formulation of soft, resilient materials with improved processability and higher biobased content. 

Main characteristics

*Determined by NMR titration 

Availability

Currently available at lab scale (5 g / 10 g), with the possibility to scale up to bulk quantities upon request. Thanks to our custom synthesis services, we can also design tailor-made structures to better address your specific needs.
