Description

Acrylic Acid 3-(4-Hydroxy-Phenoxy)Propyl Ester is a specialized bifunctional monomer featuring both a polymerizable acrylic ester group and a reactive phenolic hydroxyl group. This unique structure makes it a valuable building block for synthesizing advanced polymers with tailored properties, such as enhanced adhesion, crosslinking capability, and UV reactivity. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and formulators in the production of high-performance coatings, adhesives, and specialty resins where precise chemical functionality is required.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings & Inks: Serves as a reactive diluent and crosslinker to formulate fast-curing, high-gloss, and durable surface finishes.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Imparts improved adhesion to various substrates and contributes to the formation of tough, flexible polymer networks.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: Used as a key monomer for creating custom acrylic copolymers, epoxy-acrylate hybrids, and phenolic resins with specific performance attributes.
• Photoresist & Electronic Materials: Acts as a functional component in light-sensitive polymers for microelectronics and printed circuit board manufacturing.
• Dental & Medical Device Polymers: Employed in the development of biocompatible, high-strength composite materials.
• Surface Modification Agents: Used to graft functional polymer chains onto surfaces to alter wettability, friction, or chemical resistance.

Quality Control

Our Acrylic Acid 3-(4-Hydroxy-Phenoxy)Propyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature and the presence of polymerizable groups, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to use inhibitors as required.
