SINOMER® MPDDA – The Low-Odor, Low-Shrinkage Reactive Diluent for Advanced UV/EB Systems

A drop‑in 等效替代 Sartomer SR341, Photomer 4071, and EBECRYL MPDDA – with better process safety


Product Overview

SINOMER® MPDDA (3‑Methyl‑1,5‑pentanediol diacrylate) is a difunctional reactive diluent for UV/EB curable 涂料, inks, adhesives, and 3D printing resins. It delivers exceptionally low viscosity, very low odor, moderate shrinkage, and outstanding solvency for high‑viscosity urethane and epoxy oligomers.

MPDDA is already used in commercially proven UV formulations – from high‑speed digital varnishes to industrial 涂料. The recommended usage ranges below are based on real‑world safety data sheets, not laboratory guesses.


Key Features & Benefits


Very Low Viscosity — Superior Flow & Pumpability

With a viscosity range of 5–15 cps at 25°C, MPDDA effectively reduces the viscosity of high‑viscosity resins and oligomers. Easier processing, improved coating uniformity, and reduced reliance on volatile organic solvents – without compromising cure speed.


Extremely Low Odor — Improved Workplace Safety

MPDDA exhibits very low odor and low skin irritation, offering better safety for operators and end‑users. Particularly suitable for food packaging, indoor 涂料, 3D printing resins, and UV nail gels.


Moderate Curing Shrinkage — Reduced Film Stress

Thanks to its 3‑methyl‑1,5‑pentanediol backbone, MPDDA delivers lower shrinkage than traditional HDDA. Lower shrinkage means improved adhesion on plastic films and reduced curl on thin substrates – critical for UV inkjet and roll‑to‑roll coating.


Excellent Solvency & Compatibility

Outstanding solvency for high‑viscosity urethane acrylates, epoxy acrylates, and polyester acrylates. Prevents haze or phase separation, ensuring high transparency in clear coats.


Direct Replacement for Industry Standards

SINOMER® MPDDA is functionally equivalent to Sartomer SR341, Photomer 4071, EBECRYL MPDDA, and Etermer EM2295 – offering the same performance with better safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is SINOMER® MPDDA a direct replacement for Sartomer SR341?

A: Yes. It is functionally equivalent to Sartomer SR341, Photomer 4071, and EBECRYL MPDDA, and can be directly substituted in most UV/EB formulations with minimal reformulation.

Q: What is the main difference between MPDDA and HDDA?

A: MPDDA offers lower shrinkage, lower odor, and lower skin irritation compared to HDDA. It is preferred for applications requiring reduced film stress (less curl/warping) and better operator safety.

Q: Can MPDDA be used in 水性 systems?

A: MPDDA is oil‑soluble and primarily designed for solvent‑free UV/EB systems. It is not recommended for 水性 formulations unless emulsified.

Q: What 光引发剂s work best with MPDDA?

A: Standard Type I 光引发剂s such as 1173, 184, TPO, and TPO‑L work well. For pigmented systems, TPO/TPO‑L combinations are recommended for through‑cure.

Q: Does SINOMER® MPDDA contain MEHQ?

A: Yes, at typical industry levels to prevent premature polymerization. Custom stabilizer levels are available upon request.

Q: What is the shelf life?

A: 24 months from production date under proper storage conditions (sealed original containers, 15–25°C, away from light and heat).

Q: Does 中固化学 provide samples?

A: Yes. samples (100g, 500g, or 1kg) are available for qualified customers. Contact our technical team.
