What is urethane acrylate?
The structure of the urethane acrylate is as follows.
Polyol: Polyol having a structure such as polyester, polyether, polycarbonate, etc.
Isocyanates: yellowing type (TDI, MDI), non-yellowing type (HDI, IPDI), etc.
Acrylate: Hydroxyacrylates such as HEA and HPA
Urethane acrylate is composed of a urethane component, which is a soft segment, and an acrylic component, which is a hard segment.
The physical properties of the cured product are determined by the structure and molecular weight of the polyol, the type of isocyanate (yellowing, non-yellowing), the type of hydroxyacrylate, and the number of acrylic groups. Therefore, the combination can be changed depending on the intended use to produce the cured product.
