Description

2-Propylheptyl Acrylate is a high-molecular-weight, long-chain alkyl acrylate monomer that offers excellent flexibility, low-temperature properties, and enhanced hydrophobicity to polymer systems. This compound is a key building block for synthesizing specialty polymers with tailored performance characteristics for demanding industrial applications. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty plastics sectors seeking to improve product durability and performance.

Application

• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Imparts low-temperature flexibility, improved tack, and enhanced water resistance.
• UV-Curable Coatings & Inks: Serves as a reactive diluent and modifier to reduce viscosity and improve film flexibility and adhesion.
• Acrylic Polymer Emulsions: Used as a co-monomer to produce soft, flexible polymer lattices for architectural and industrial coatings.
• Plastic Additives: Acts as an internal plasticizer in acrylic resins, improving impact resistance and weatherability.
• Textile & Leather Finishes: Enhances the softness, durability, and water repellency of treated fabrics and leathers.
• Sealants and Caulks: Contributes to long-term elasticity, adhesion, and resistance to weathering and chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 2-Propylheptyl Acrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, color, acidity, and inhibitor content is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). The product contains an inhibitor to prevent polymerization; do not store under conditions that may lead to inhibitor depletion.
