Introducing GENOMER* 4236 – High Flexibility Meets Outdoor Performance

We are excited to announce the launch of GENOMER* 4236, a next generation difunctional aliphatic urethane acrylate designed to deliver exceptional performance across a wide range of radiation curable applications.

Crafted for formulators seeking flexibility, durability, and reliable adhesion, GENOMER* 4236 sets a new benchmark for high performance coatings and inks.

Why GENOMER* 4236 stands out

  • Excellent outdoor resistance – formulated to withstand demanding environmental exposure, making it ideal for long lasting topcoats.

  • Outstanding flexibility – achieve smooth, crack free results - even on challenging substrates or bending applications.

  • Good adhesion, especially on metal – GENOMER* 4236 enhances adhesion performance and enables low T bend values in coil coating systems when combined with flexible monomers.

  • Low yellowing – Maintains color and gloss for pigmented and clearcoat systems.

  • High impact resistance – perfect for applications where mechanical strength and durability matter.
