PETIA is a multifunctional reactive diluent with a high degree of acrylic unsaturation and finds use in a variety of ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings and ink systems where a high degree of crosslinking is desired. PETIA is a mixture of predominantly the tri- and tetra-acrylate esters of pentaerythritol. PETIA has a higher ratio of tri - to tetra-acrylate ester than the similar product EBECRYL 180, and therefore remains liquid at normal ambient temperatures.

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.
