IBOA

IBOA is a monofunctional reactive diluent that polymerizes when exposed to sources of free radicals. The bicyclic structure of IBOA gives rise to polymers of increased Tg, while its monofunctionality minimizes crosslinking to provide coatings and inks with good hardness and resiliency combined with flexibility and impact resistance.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • Storage and handling should be in stainless steel, amber glass, amber polyethylene or baked phenolic lined containers.
  • Procedures that remove or displace oxygen from the material should be avoided.
  • Do not store this material under an oxygen free atmosphere.
  • Dry air is recommended to displace material removed from the container.
  • Wash thoroughly after handling.
  • Keep container tightly closed.
  • Use with adequate ventilation.
Handling Information
  • Care should be taken not to expose the product to high temperature conditions, direct sunlight, ignition sources, oxidizing agents, alkalis or acids.
  • This might cause uncontrollable polymerization of the product with the generation of heat.
