Description

2-Adamantyl Methacrylate is a specialized methacrylate monomer featuring the bulky, rigid adamantane group. This unique structure is critical for imparting exceptional thermal stability, high refractive index, and excellent optical clarity to advanced polymer materials. It is primarily sought after by R&D and production teams in the photoresist, optical lens, and high-performance coating industries for developing next-generation materials.

Application

• Photoresist Formulations: A key monomer for advanced chemically amplified resists (CARs) used in semiconductor lithography, particularly for deep-UV (DUV) and extreme-UV (EUV) processes.
• Optical Polymers & Lenses: Used to synthesize polymers with high refractive index, low birefringence, and superior transparency for precision optical components and lenses.
• High-Performance Coatings: Imparts enhanced heat resistance, hardness, and durability to protective and decorative coatings for automotive, aerospace, and electronic applications.
• Advanced Adhesives & Sealants: Serves as a modifying agent to improve the thermal and chemical resistance of acrylic-based adhesive systems.
• Dental & Biomedical Materials: Utilized in the development of high-strength, biocompatible composite resins and restorative materials.
• Modification of Engineering Plastics: Incorporated as a co-monomer to enhance the glass transition temperature (Tg) and mechanical properties of polymethacrylates and other thermoplastics.

Quality Control

Our 2-Adamantyl Methacrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high purity and consistency, with specifications tailored for demanding applications like photoresists and optical materials. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. This material is light-sensitive (store away from light) and compatible with strong acid/organic solvent environments but should be stored separately from strong oxidizers.
