Performance Highlights:

Low Toxicity: IBMA is a low-toxic liquid, making it a safer choice for various applications.

High Boiling Point: The high boiling point (117 °C) allows for use in processes involving elevated temperatures.

Low Viscosity: The low viscosity (0.0062 Pa.s) enhances flow characteristics and ease of handling.

Excellent Compatibility: IBMA exhibits good compatibility with natural oils, synthetic resins, modified resins, high viscosity epoxy methacrylates, and urethane acrylates.

Solubility: Insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents like ethanol and ether.

Applications:

IBMA’s unique properties make it valuable in diverse fields, including:

Heat-resistant Plastic Photoconductive Fibers: IBMA contributes to the development of heat-resistant fibers used in optoelectronics.

Adhesives: It improves adhesion properties in various formulations.

Lithographic Ink Carrier: IBMA acts as a carrier solvent in lithographic printing inks.

Modified Powder Coatings: It enhances the performance of powder coatings.

Cleaning Coatings and Special Plastics: IBMA finds use in cleaning formulations and specialty plastic applications.

Active Diluent and Flexible Copolymer: It acts as a diluent and promotes flexibility in copolymers.

Pigment Dispersant: IBMA improves the dispersion of pigments in copolymers.

Safety and Handling:

IBMA is classified under GHS Hazard Category code 36/37/38, indicating potential irritation to eyes, skin, and respiratory system.  Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling IBMA.

Storage:

Store IBMA in a cool place below 20 °C, isolated from heat sources. To prevent polymerization, the product contains 0.01% ~ 0.05% hydroquinone as an inhibitor. The recommended storage period is 3 months.

New Venture Enterprise is committed to providing high-quality IBMA and other specialty chemicals.  Our team is here to answer your questions and help you select the right product for your specific application.
