Explore our top-performing acrylate formulations engineered for exceptional adhesion, chemical resistance, and ecological compliance.
Established in 2006, Guangdong Ever Ray Environmental Material Co., Ltd. is a premier national high-tech enterprise specializing in the formulation, synthesis, and industrial-scale manufacturing of high-performance UV-curable oligomers.
Our comprehensive portfolio integrates state-of-the-art chemical engineering to deliver epoxy acrylates, polyurethane acrylates (waterborne, aliphatic, and aromatic), polyester acrylates, and specialty bio-based monomers like soybean acrylate (Epoxidized Soybean Oil Acrylate - ESOA). Through sustainable chemistry, we empower global industrial applicators to transition toward zero-VOC, bio-renewable, and energy-efficient UV curing processes.
Unveiling the molecular structure, synthesis process, and functional characteristics of next-generation bio-based radiation curable oligomers.
Soybean acrylate, fundamentally recognized as Epoxidized Soybean Oil Acrylate (ESOA), is synthesized through the chemical reaction of acrylic acid with epoxidized soybean oil (ESO). The primary reaction path involves the ring-opening esterification of oxirane rings with the carboxylic acid group of acrylic acid.
This yields a highly functionalized monomeric or oligomeric structure carrying both acryloyl groups (enabling ultra-fast UV/EB free-radical polymerization) and residual hydroxyl groups. These polar hydroxyl groups play a crucial role in enhancing intermolecular hydrogen bonding, which directly translates to excellent pigment wetting, high adhesion to metals and plastics, and outstanding flexibility.
Compared to traditional petrochemical-based epoxy acrylates derived from Bisphenol A (BPA), ESOA is inherently free from endocrine-disrupting chemicals, rendering it highly suitable for sensitive applications such as indirect food packaging inks, consumer electronics, and eco-friendly wood finishes.
| Property Parameter | Standard Epoxy Acrylate | Soybean Acrylate (ESOA) |
|---|---|---|
| Bio-Content (BRC) | 0% (Petroleum-based) | 35% - 75% |
| Shrinkage Rate | High (6% - 10%) | Very Low (1.5% - 3%) |
| BPA Presence | Highly Present | 100% BPA-Free |
| Viscosity (at 25°C) | Ultra-High (Semi-solid) | Moderate (Low Diluent Need) |
How different geographic regions utilize Ever Ray's Soybean Acrylate and specialized oligomer technologies to meet local regulatory and functional needs.
In response to the stringent European Green Deal and circular economy targets, printers and packaging converters utilize ESOA in UV flexographic and offset inks. Our low-migration, BPA-free formulations comply directly with the Swiss Ordinance and Nestlé Guidance Note for packaging inks.
North American furniture manufacturers facing strict EPA limits on VOCs leverage soybean acrylate's low viscosity to formulate zero-VOC wood coatings. By utilizing bio-based oligomers, manufacturers qualify for USDA BioPreferred® program procurement contracts.
High-density electronic assembly clusters in China, Japan, and South Korea utilize soybean acrylate to reduce shrinkage stress on delicate micro-components during rapid UV LED curing cycles. It is also an optimal reactive diluent modifier for bio-based SLA/DLP 3D photopolymer resins.
Delivering deep insights into how Ever Ray's R&D team addresses emerging technology shifts in radiation curing systems.
Traditional UV lamps consume immense energy and produce ozone. Ever Ray is optimizing oligomer reactivity profiles to match the narrow output of cost-effective UV-LED light sources, ensuring surface tack-free curing under low energy densities.
Synthesizing interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) that combine modified urethanes and epoxidized vegetable oils. This delivers oligomers that exhibit the toughness of polyurethane and the low stress of soybean acrylates.
Developing specialized waterborne UV-curable dispersions featuring zero organic solvents, optimized for high-end automotive interior coatings, leather treatments, and low-odor wood finishes.
