Description

2-Allyloxyethyl Methacrylate is a bifunctional monomer featuring both a methacrylate and an allyl ether group, offering versatile reactivity for polymer synthesis. This compound is valued for its ability to introduce cross-linking sites and pendant reactive groups, enhancing the thermal and mechanical properties of final polymer products. It is primarily sought by formulators and manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty polymer industries for developing advanced materials.

Application

• Cross-linking Agent in thermosetting acrylic resins for high-performance coatings and inks.
• Reactive Diluent & Modifier in UV-curable systems for adhesives, sealants, and overprint varnishes.
• Copolymerization Monomer for introducing pendant allyl groups, enabling post-polymerization modifications.
• Hydrogel Synthesis for biomedical and contact lens applications due to its hydrophilic chain and cross-linking capability.
• Fiber Optic Cladding and other optical materials where precise refractive index control is required.
• Dental Composites and restorative materials, contributing to durability and reduced polymerization shrinkage.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs) to improve tack, peel strength, and heat resistance.
• Lithographic Printing Plates and other photopolymerizable systems.

Quality Control

Our 2-Allyloxyethyl Methacrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity, and impurity profile determination, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. For long-term storage, inhibitors are typically added and their presence should be verified prior to use.
