B-CEA is a low-glass-transition-temperature acrylic monomer with double bonds and carboxyl groups. It can be used to adjust the hardness of coatings, adhesives, and inks, or improve the bond strength and adhesion of pressure-sensitive adhesives. It exhibits significant performance enhancement in adhesives and coatings. B-CEA cross-links with alkenyl, amino, hydroxyl, cyclic, and isocyanate functional groups and is suitable for water-based, solvent-based, and 100% solids systems.
