Description

Poly(Methyl Vinyl Ether-Alt-Maleic Anhydride), Cross-Linked With 1,9-Decadiene is a specialized, cross-linked copolymer derived from methyl vinyl ether and maleic anhydride. This engineered polymer is valued for its unique rheological properties, film-forming ability, and controlled reactivity, making it a versatile functional additive and matrix material. It is particularly sought after by formulators and researchers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and advanced materials industries for applications requiring tailored viscosity, adhesion, or controlled release.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a binder, film-coating agent, or matrix former in controlled-release tablet and capsule formulations.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a film-forming agent, thickener, or stabilizer in hair styling products, sunscreens, and skin care formulations.
• Adhesives and Sealants: Serves as a tackifier or rheology modifier in pressure-sensitive and specialty adhesive systems.
• Industrial Coatings: Acts as a dispersant, viscosity modifier, or cross-linking component in water-based and solvent-based coating formulations.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: Utilized as a reactive polymeric scaffold or precursor for synthesizing hydrogels, ion-exchange resins, or other functional materials.
• Printing and Inks: Employed as a viscosity control agent and pigment dispersant in various ink systems.

Quality Control

Our Poly(Methyl Vinyl Ether-Alt-Maleic Anhydride), Cross-Linked With 1,9-Decadiene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent performance, including assessment of viscosity, residual monomers, and cross-link density. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key specifications are available for every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent moisture uptake, which can affect product properties.
