Description

2-Chloroformylethyl Methacrylate is a highly reactive bifunctional monomer containing both a methacrylate and an acid chloride group. This dual functionality makes it a critical building block for synthesizing advanced polymers with tailored properties, such as crosslinkable coatings, adhesives, and specialty resins. It is essential for R&D and production in sectors demanding high-performance materials, including advanced optics, electronics, and biomedical engineering.

Application

• Crosslinking Agent in the synthesis of high-performance, thermosetting acrylic and methacrylic resins for coatings and adhesives.
• Polymer Modification to introduce reactive pendant groups for further functionalization, enhancing adhesion, weather resistance, or biocompatibility.
• Photoresist & Optical Materials as a key monomer for creating polymers with specific refractive indices and photosensitivity for microelectronics and lens manufacturing.
• Bioconjugation & Biomedical Polymers for attaching biomolecules (e.g., peptides, drugs) to polymer backbones via the reactive acid chloride moiety.
• Surface Grafting to modify material surfaces (e.g., glass, metals, plastics) with polymer brushes for improved wettability, lubrication, or anti-fouling properties.
• Specialty Monomer for producing ion-exchange resins, hydrogel precursors, and other functional polymers used in water treatment and separation technologies.

Quality Control

Our 2-Chloroformylethyl Methacrylate is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC and impurity profiling, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your project specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) due to its sensitivity to moisture and tendency for oxidation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, strong bases, and oxidizing agents.
