Description

2-Propenoic Acid, Ethyl Ester, Polymer With Ethenyl Acetate, 1-Ethenylhexahydro-2H-Azepin-2-One And 2-Ethylhexyl 2-Propenoate is a specialized multi-component polymer designed to deliver a unique balance of properties for advanced coating and adhesive formulations. This copolymer is engineered to provide exceptional durability, flexibility, and adhesion on a wide range of substrates. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the paints & coatings, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and industrial sealants sectors seeking to enhance product performance.

Application

• High-Performance Industrial Coatings: Used as a film-forming agent in protective coatings for metal, plastic, and wood, offering excellent weather resistance and mechanical strength.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Serves as a key polymer backbone for tapes and labels, providing a balance of tack, peel adhesion, and cohesive strength.
• Architectural Paints: Imparts enhanced scrub resistance, low-temperature film formation, and durability in interior and exterior decorative paints.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Applied as a binder or topcoat to improve the abrasion resistance, water repellency, and hand feel of treated fabrics and leathers.
• Printing Inks: Utilized in flexographic and gravure inks to improve adhesion to non-porous substrates and enhance gloss and rub resistance.
• Industrial Sealants and Caulks: Provides flexibility, adhesion, and long-term elasticity in construction and automotive sealing applications.

Quality Control

Our production of this specialty copolymer adheres to strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Every lot is characterized for critical parameters including monomer content, molecular weight distribution, viscosity, and glass transition temperature (Tg). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with each 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 temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Avoid freezing and prolonged exposure to high temperatures or direct sunlight to maintain product stability and prevent premature polymerization or changes in viscosity.
