In order to answer to the challenging indirect food contact applications, we are actively working to find the best solutions to keep the formulators at the highest level of performance.
To that purpose, we are proposing a dedicated offer of monomers and oligomers:
Our monomers offering*
The Sartomer low-migration monomer range offers wide possibilities from low-viscosity and low-functionality monomoers for digital inks (LM5201) to reactive diluents for general purposes (LM5301, LM5302, LM5401) and even high-functionality DPHA (LM5601) for boosting reactivity.

*It is essential that the end user establishes the suitability of the selected grades in each formulated ink and varnish system intended for indirect food contact applications.
Our oligomers offering
The Sartomer low-migration oligomer range offers highly reactive solutions usable in various end applications, from amine synergist (LM7401) boosting reactivity at low loading, to amine-modified oligomers (LM7402, LM7403) as UV ink binders, and to polyester acrylate (LM7201) highly improving adhesion and surface cure.
