Description

Oleyl Methacrylate is a long-chain alkyl methacrylate monomer derived from oleyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its ability to impart flexibility, hydrophobicity, and low-temperature properties to polymer chains. It is a key raw material for formulators and polymer chemists in industries requiring specialized performance additives. The product is supplied under the identifier CAS NO 13533-08-9.

Application

Oleyl Methacrylate is utilized as a reactive monomer and modifier in various high-performance polymer systems. Its primary applications include:

• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Imparts permanent tack, enhances peel adhesion, and improves low-temperature flexibility.
• Coatings and Inks: Used in UV-curable and radiation-curable systems to increase film flexibility, improve substrate wetting, and enhance water resistance.
• Lubricant and Fuel Additives: Serves as a precursor for viscosity index improvers and pour-point depressants in lubricating oils and industrial fluids.
• Personal Care Polymers: Incorporated into hair fixatives, nail polish, and other cosmetic formulations to provide film-forming properties with a soft feel.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Enhances the softness, water repellency, and durability of treated fabrics and leathers.
• Acrylic Resin Modification: Used as a co-monomer to plasticize and internalize plasticizing effects in acrylic resins for paints, sealants, and plastics.

Quality Control

Our Oleyl Methacrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, identity, and inhibitor content are available for every shipment. We support our global clients with documentation to meet relevant regulatory and supply chain requirements.

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 easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended to preserve monomer integrity and prevent premature polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
