Description

3-(Dimethylamino)Propyl Acrylate is a versatile acrylate monomer featuring a tertiary amine functional group, making it a key reactive intermediate for specialty polymer synthesis. This compound matters for its ability to impart cationic charge, adhesion promotion, and cross-linking capabilities to polymer chains, significantly enhancing material performance. Industries that need it include producers of water treatment chemicals, advanced coatings, adhesives, and personal care polymers, where its unique dual functionality drives innovation.

Application

• Cationic Polymer Flocculants: A crucial monomer for synthesizing polyelectrolytes used in water and wastewater treatment for solid-liquid separation and sludge dewatering.
• Adhesive & Coating Modifiers: Enhances adhesion to difficult substrates and improves film properties in UV-curable resins, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and industrial coatings.
• Personal Care Polymers: Used in the production of cationic conditioning agents for hair care and skincare products, providing antistatic and softening effects.
• Paper & Textile Chemicals: Serves as a building block for retention aids, drainage aids in papermaking, and fabric softeners or dye-fixing agents in textiles.
• Cross-linking Agent: Utilized in the manufacture of thermosetting resins and as a reactive diluent or cross-linker in various acrylic copolymer systems.
• Oilfield Chemicals: A component in polymers used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and as fluid loss additives in drilling muds.

Quality Control

Our 3-(Dimethylamino)Propyl 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. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, color, and moisture content are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). This product is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere). It is recommended to store under an inert gas atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to maximize shelf life and prevent polymerization or degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
