Description

2-Propenoic Acid, 2-Methyl-, C12-15-Alkyl Esters, Polymers With n-3-(Dimethylamino)Propyl-2-Methyl-2-Propenamide And Me Methacrylate is a specialized acrylic copolymer designed to deliver enhanced performance in demanding formulations. This product matters because it combines the durability and film-forming properties of acrylics with the surface-active and compatibility benefits of a C12-15 alkyl chain and a tertiary amine functionality. It is primarily needed by industrial manufacturers seeking to improve the adhesion, gloss, and mechanical properties of coatings, inks, and adhesives. The CAS number for this compound is 109981-10-4.

Application

• Industrial Coatings: Used as a key resin or additive in solvent-borne and high-solids coatings for metal, plastic, and wood substrates to enhance gloss, flow, and chemical resistance.
• Printing Inks: Improves pigment wetting, printability, and rub resistance in flexographic and gravure inks.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Functions as a tackifier and film-forming agent in pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and construction sealants, improving initial tack and cohesive strength.
• Leather Finishes: Imparts a flexible, durable, and high-gloss topcoat for finished leather goods.
• Textile Coatings: Provides water resistance and a soft hand feel to coated fabrics and non-wovens.
• Plastic Additives: Can be used as a processing aid or surface modifier to improve the compatibility and dispersion of additives in polymer compounds.

Quality Control

Our production of this specialty polymer adheres to strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot is tested against key parameters including solids content, viscosity, amine value, and glass transition temperature (Tg). Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications 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, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from heat sources and open flame. Under these conditions, the product has a typical shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
