The polymeric monomer "VEEA," characterized by low viscosity and violet photohardening, satisfies the requirements for high-speed printing. Its low viscosity enables strong adhesion to various substrates while maintaining precision.

In Europe and America, plate-less digital printing is predominantly driven by UV-curable inkjet technology, which enhances operational efficiency through small nozzle diameters and multiple nozzles. This technology has also gained traction in Japan. Inkjet inks are required to exhibit properties such as low viscosity, rapid curing, minimal odor, and high substrate adhesion. Particularly when fine printing nozzles dispense ink, low-viscosity formulations are essential.

The polymeric monomer "VEEA" incorporates both an Acryloyl Group and a cationic polymeric Vinyl Ether Group within a single molecule. It demonstrates high reactivity and excellent UV curing performance at low viscosity, making it an ideal reactive diluent for inkjet inks, especially in high-speed industrial or label printing applications.

The cyclizing polymerizing monomer "FX-AO-MA" contains both acrylate and acrylic groups within a single molecule. Through intramolecular cyclization polymerization, it forms a polymer with a main-chain tetrahydrofuran (THF) ring structure. In addition to adhering to plastic substrates, it exhibits strong adhesion to stainless steel and other metals, along with UV curing capabilities. Molecules with a ring structure in the main chain achieve a high glass transition temperature (Tg) after curing, ensuring excellent toughness. These properties make it suitable for surface printing, adhesives, and coatings. The viscosity of this monomer is approximately 1.5 mPa·s, lower than that of VEEA.
