Monofunctional Cyclic Monomers (Non-Benzene Ring)

In UV curing formulations, monofunctional cyclic monomers (non-benzene ring) are a special and highly practical type of raw material. The cyclic structure delivers high hardness, low shrinkage, low stress and low odor; while the monofunctional structure ensures excellent dilutability, compatibility and leveling properties.
Quick Selection Guide for Common Monofunctional Cyclic UV Monomers (Recommended for Collection)！

THFA (OE1285): The first choice for scenarios with poor wetting, shrinkage cavities on PET substrates and a demand for powerful viscosity reduction.

CTFA (OE1531): Specially used for beauty light-curing gels, food packaging and medical coatings, featuring low sensitivity and low shrinkage.

IBOA (OE1506): Suitable for hard coatings and wood coatings that require ultra-high hardness, wear resistance and high gloss.

TMCHA (OE1420): Features balanced toughness and hardness, ideal for weather-resistant outdoor applications, optical films and 3D printing precision parts.

THFMA (OE1203): A weather-resistant modified version of THFA, specially formulated for outdoor flexible PET coatings and hot-humid environments.

Monofunctional cyclic UV monomers (non-benzene ring) are core components in UV formulations that balance hardness, shrinkage, adhesion and odor. Different cyclic frameworks correspond to different performance characteristics, covering full application scenarios from general industrial use and high-end export products to 3D printing and low-sensitivity beauty products.
