Advanced acrylate solutions for high performance formulations
Arkema, through its Sartomer® line of specialty acrylate monomers and oligomers, supports UV, EB, LED, peroxide and amine curing technologies as well as thermal copolymerization in solution, suspension or emulsion, enabling tailored performance across diverse industries and applications.
This versatility enables formulators to adjust reactivity, network formation and film properties to meet demanding performance requirements across a wide range of industries and applications.
Acrylate oligomers
Our acrylate oligomers are higher molecular weight molecules that provide essential functional properties to reactive systems and formulations. These performance products incorporate tailored backbones and functional groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, amine or free isocyanate, enabling formulators to adjust reactivity, film properties and durability in advanced resin and material systems.
Acrylate monomers
Acrylate monomers serve as high-performance reactive diluents and essential building blocks for polymerization. Sartomer® offers a unique breadth of chemical structures to support formulation design, ranging from mono- to multifunctional grades, linear to branched aliphatic, cycloaliphatic to aromatic, and alkoxylated alkyl or aryl derivatives. Dual-functional products (hydroxyl, allyl, etc.) further expand formulation flexibility and allow precise tuning of reactivity and polymer architecture.
With extensive experience in specialty acrylates and regulatory shifts, Arkema’s Sartomer® line supports compliant formulation development and low-extractable solutions for sensitive markets.

Performance properties and formulation benefits
Specialty acrylates deliver a wide set of performance properties, including adhesion, chemical and water resistance, hardness, toughness, durability, flexibility, pigment wetting, color development and weathering stability. Functional esters, methyl-based structures and backbone variation provide levers for optimizing substrate bonding, rheology and final film behavior under challenging service conditions. These features make specialty acrylates particularly attractive for coatings, adhesives, 3D printing, automotive finishing and other performance-driven applications.
Low migration & regulatory-compliant acrylates
In sensitive and compliance-driven applications such as food packaging, medical devices, consumer goods and specialty coatings, formulators must balance performance with regulatory expectations. Arkema’s Sartomer® portfolio includes a dedicated range of low migration and regulatory-compliant acrylates engineered to meet strict industry requirements without compromising key resin and polymer performance.
Many brand owners are increasingly restricting certain substances in consumer goods, driving the search for alternatives to components such as Bisphenol A, PETIA, Organotin, and NVC. Sartomer® low-migration and regulatory-compliant acrylates offer a relevant answer, helping formulators meet compliance expectations without sacrificing performance.
These specialty acrylate monomers and acrylate oligomers enable reduced residual content and extractables while providing chemical and water resistance, adhesion, flexibility and efficient UV/LED or thermal curing. They support the development of compliant polymers, copolymers and advanced materials for food contact, medical, cosmetic and consumer applications.
