Description

Behenyl Acrylate is a high molecular weight, long-chain alkyl acrylate monomer derived from behenyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its ability to impart flexibility, hydrophobicity, and low-temperature properties to polymer chains. It is primarily sought after by formulators in the coatings, adhesives, and personal care industries for developing advanced performance materials.

Application

• As a key monomer for synthesizing pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) with enhanced tack and peel strength.
• In the production of low-viscosity, high-solids industrial coatings to improve flow and leveling.
• As a reactive diluent and modifier in UV-curable resins for inks and overprint varnishes.
• In the formulation of specialty polymers for personal care products, such as hair fixatives and nail polish, to provide film-forming properties.
• For creating textile and leather finishing agents that offer water repellency and softness.
• As an additive in lubricant and grease formulations to modify viscosity and performance characteristics.

Quality Control

Our Behenyl Acrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical properties is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and reliability for your production processes.

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 material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when in partially filled containers to prevent polymerization and maintain product integrity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
