Description

2,2'-Azobis[2-Methyl-n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Propionamide] is a water-soluble azo initiator widely used in free-radical polymerization processes. Its core value lies in its ability to decompose at moderate temperatures to generate free radicals, enabling efficient and controlled polymer synthesis. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, adhesive, and specialty coatings industries seeking reliable and consistent initiation for aqueous-based systems.

Application

• Aqueous Polymerization Initiator: Primary initiator for the synthesis of acrylic and vinyl polymers in water-based systems.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Key component in the production of stable latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Graft Copolymerization: Used to create graft copolymers for enhancing material properties like impact resistance and compatibility.
• Textile Chemical Production: Employed in the synthesis of polymers used as binders, finishes, and thickeners for textiles.
• Paper Coating Binders: Initiator for polymers that improve the gloss, strength, and printability of paper.
• Hydrogel Synthesis: Facilitates the cross-linking polymerization for creating superabsorbent polymers and medical hydrogels.

Quality Control

Our 2,2'-Azobis[2-Methyl-n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Propionamide] is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, potency, and the absence of critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and related substances is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its sensitivity to light and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
