Loveland, OH, Dec. 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sirrus, Inc. announces a new commercial and application development agreement with NAGASE Specialty Materials NA LLC, a leading distributor of specialty chemicals and manufacturer of chemical products for various industries including plastics, packaging, pharmaceuticals and electronics. This agreement focuses on Sirrus\u2019s methylene malonate technology with an initial focus on UV cure applications such as additive manufacturing materials in the United States and Israel.<\/p>\n

Methylene malonates are novel materials for UV cure offering low odor, color, viscosity and shrinkage. When combined with methacrylates, they have been shown to accelerate and improve cure speed and performance. Methylene malonates, combined with electron-rich compounds, can be cured to make new alternating copolymers that deliver unique performance attributes.<\/p>\n

The agreement with NAGASE will expand Sirrus\u2019s sales, marketing and application development efforts as it brings new methylene malonate UV cure technologies to market. \u201cWe\u2019re extending the reach of our methylene malonates into various UV curable markets, thanks to NAGASE\u2019s global presence, strong application development skills and chemical and materials expertise,\u201d says Mike Powers, Director of Business Development at Sirrus.<\/p>\n

As polymer building blocks, methylene malonates are a versatile, electron-deficient monomer platform. Although Sirrus\u2019s initial distribution and application development efforts with NAGASE will focus on UV cure materials, other applications for methylene malonates include high-performance coatings, adhesives, sealants and binders.<\/p>\n
