Description

2-Propenoic Acid, 2-Methyl-, Polymer With .Alpha.-Methyl-.Omega.-Hydroxypoly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl) And Methyl 2-Methyl-2-Propenoate, Graft is a specialized graft copolymer designed to deliver unique performance characteristics. This advanced polymer is engineered to act as a highly effective rheology modifier, dispersant, and film-forming agent in complex formulations. It is essential for formulators in the coatings, adhesives, inks, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product stability, texture, and application properties.

Application

• Architectural and Industrial Coatings: Functions as a thickener, rheology modifier, and stabilizer in water-based paints and varnishes.
• Adhesives and Sealants: Improves viscosity control, open time, and substrate wetting in acrylic-based adhesive systems.
• Printing Inks: Used as a pigment dispersant and viscosity regulator to ensure consistent print quality and stability.
• Personal Care Products: Serves as a film former, thickener, and stabilizer in hair styling gels, creams, and lotions.
• Textile and Leather Finishing: Acts as a binder and modifier to improve the hand feel, durability, and water resistance of finishes.
• Construction Chemicals: Employed as a water-retention agent and workability aid in cementitious mortars and tile adhesives.

Quality Control

Our production of this graft copolymer adheres to strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including viscosity, solids content, pH, and functional group analysis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product performance.
