Description

3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl Methacrylate is a specialized bifunctional monomer featuring both a polymerizable methacrylate group and a phenolic dihydroxy moiety. This unique structure makes it a valuable building block for synthesizing advanced polymers with tailored properties, such as enhanced adhesion, crosslinking density, and chemical functionality. It is particularly sought after by R&D chemists and material scientists in the photoresist, dental materials, adhesive, and specialty coating industries for developing high-performance formulations.

Application

• Photoresist & Photopolymer Formulations: Acts as a key monomer in the synthesis of polymers for advanced photoresists used in semiconductor and PCB manufacturing.
• Dental Composite Resins: Serves as a functional co-monomer to improve the mechanical strength, durability, and bonding characteristics of restorative materials.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Used to create polymers with superior adhesion to various substrates, including metals and plastics.
• UV-Curable Coatings & Inks: Incorporated into formulations to enhance cure speed, crosslinking, and final film properties.
• Biomedical Polymers: Employed in research for developing biocompatible hydrogels, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds.
• Molecular Imprinting: Utilized as a functional monomer for creating selective recognition sites in molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs).
• Crosslinking Agent: Provides sites for chemical crosslinking in thermoset resins, improving thermal and chemical resistance.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl Methacrylate is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere). For long-term storage, consider packaging under an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon.
