NT-3000 is an aliphatic monoglycidyl ether containing alkyl chains, which are predominately C12 and C14 in length.

Isobornyl acrylate (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.

Trimethylolpropane ethoxy triacrylate (TMPEOTA) is a reactive diluent commonly used in ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) energy curable coatings and inks. TMPEOTA can be used to impart crosslinking to energy curable coatings and inks while maintaining a degree of flexibility and toughness. Of the common triacrylate diluents used in energy curable formulations, TMPEOTA exhibits the highest reactivity and the greatest viscosity reduction of oligomers.

Epotec RD 103 is a low viscosity, aliphatic di-epoxide compound based on 1,4-butane diol. It is intended for use as a reactive diluent for high viscosity epoxy resins. Epotec RD 103 is compatible in all concentrations with all common epoxy resins. These resin/diluent blends can be cured using variety of curing agents. The di-functionality of epotec RD 103 helps to produce formulations with improved toughness. The di-fuctionality of epotec RD 103 also helps in retaining the chemical resistance characteristics of the system to a large extent.
