Case #4094

Monomers for automotive finishes P r o b l e m : Vehicle manufacturers today need optimum quality finishes that can withstand extremes of temperature, sunlight/UV and stone chipping, while satisfying customer demand for high gloss and depth of image.

S o l u t i o n : Major paint manufacturers rely on Rohm Tech methacrylate monomers to formulate the basic copolymer structure of automotive top­coats. Specially formulated for use with high-solids automotive clearcoats, these monomers give top­coats enhanced light stability and resistance to thermal decomposition as well as high gloss, depth of image, toughness and durability.

These are just some of hundreds of specialty chemicals available from Rohm Tech, all supported by tightly managed process control that results in consistent quality products.
