Technology & Products
Key Products
Aliphatic & Aromatic Urethane Acrylates; Polyether & Polyester Urethane Acrylates/Methacrylates; Multifunctional Oligomers; Bio-based Oligomers; UV/EB Coatings & Additives
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Rapid custom oligomer development and broad portfolio. VERIFIED: 30+ years of specialized UV/EB chemistry expertise, proprietary synthesis processes for high-purity oligomers, and successful integration into commercial AM masterbatches (e.g., Mechnano E35B+). DEFENSIBLE: Trade secrets in synthesis and formulation, long-standing customer relationships.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces resin formulation R&D cycles by 30-50% through rapid custom oligomer development and consistent batch quality, lowering material qualification costs and accelerating time-to-market for high-performance photopolymer 3D printing resins.
How They Differentiate
Focuses exclusively on oligomer synthesis and rapid custom development for formulators, whereas competitors like Allnex and Arkema offer broader chemical portfolios with less specialized AM support. Bomar provides faster turnaround on custom oligomer requests and specialized bio-based/tin-free chemistries tailored for photopolymer 3D printing.
