Diurethane Dimethacrylate (DUDMA)
R'CH2[C(CH3)(CH3)CH2]2CH2R'
Diurethane dimethacrylate (DUDMA). Long chain-length crosslinking monomer often used in light-cure systems. Cures to form a hard, glassy surface that is low in color. It is also commonly used as the main oligomer in UV and peroxide cured dental, cosmetic, and medical coatings and composites.
Synonyms: Urethane Dimethacrylate, UDMA, diurethane dimethacrylate, DUDMA, Bis(2-methacryloxyethyl) N,N’-1,9-nonylene biscarbamate, DiHEMA, trimethylhexyl dicarbamate.
