Description

2-Cyanoethyl Acrylate is a versatile bifunctional monomer featuring both a reactive acrylate group and a cyano group. This unique structure makes it a critical intermediate for synthesizing specialty polymers with enhanced properties like adhesion, solvent resistance, and thermal stability. It is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and advanced materials sectors seeking to develop high-performance products.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings and Inks: As a reactive diluent and crosslinker to formulate fast-curing, high-gloss, and durable surface finishes.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): To improve tack, peel strength, and cohesion in adhesive tapes and labels.
• Photoresist Polymers: As a key monomer in the production of polymers for photolithography in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.
• Fiber Modifiers and Textile Finishes: To impart water repellency, wrinkle resistance, and improved dyeability to synthetic fibers.
• Acrylic Resin Modification: For enhancing the chemical resistance, hardness, and weatherability of acrylic-based resins.
• Hydrogel Synthesis: Used in the creation of superabsorbent polymers and biomedical hydrogels due to its polymerizable groups.

Quality Control

Our 2-Cyanoethyl Acrylate is produced under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

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