Description

Cyclohexyl Methacrylate is a high-purity, monofunctional methacrylate monomer characterized by its cycloaliphatic structure. This compound is valued for its ability to impart polymers with enhanced properties such as excellent hydrolytic stability, high glass transition temperatures, and improved resistance to chemicals and weathering. It is a critical raw material for formulators and manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and advanced polymer industries seeking to develop high-performance, durable materials.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings & Inks: A key monomer for formulating high-performance, fast-curing coatings and printing inks that require excellent adhesion, hardness, and chemical resistance.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Used to enhance the flexibility, durability, and environmental resistance of acrylic-based structural and pressure-sensitive adhesives.
• Engineering Plastics & Resins: Serves as a co-monomer to improve the thermal stability, mechanical strength, and weatherability of acrylic and methacrylic copolymers.
• Optical Polymers: Employed in the synthesis of transparent polymers for lenses, optical fibers, and displays due to its clarity and stability.
• Automotive & Industrial Coatings: Imparts superior scratch resistance, gloss retention, and protection against fuels and solvents in topcoat formulations.
• Dental & Medical Materials: Used in the production of biocompatible polymers for dental composites and medical devices where stability and purity are paramount.

Quality Control

Our Cyclohexyl Methacrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for industrial and specialty applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are provided to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your formulation requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This product is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended to preserve quality and prevent polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
