Trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) is a multifunctional acrylate ester. Trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) is a versatile monomer often used in the production of radiation-curable resins, including those cured by ultraviolet (UV) light or electron beams. Its trifunctional structure allows it to form highly crosslinked networks, making it ideal for applications requiring strong adhesion, abrasion resistance, and hardness. It consists of a triacrylate group bonded to a trimethylolpropane backbone, which enables it to crosslink efficiently in polymerization processes.
