Description

Decyl Acrylate is a high-purity, long-chain alkyl acrylate monomer essential for the synthesis of specialty polymers. This compound is valued for its ability to impart flexibility, low-temperature properties, and water resistance to acrylic copolymers. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and sealants industries seeking to enhance product performance.

Application

• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): A key monomer for formulating acrylic-based PSAs with improved tack and peel adhesion on various substrates.
• Coatings and Paints: Used in the production of waterborne and solvent-borne acrylic resins for architectural, industrial, and automotive coatings, providing excellent weatherability and flexibility.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Serves as a co-monomer in polymers applied as soft, durable finishes for fabrics and synthetic leather.
• Sealants and Caulks: Imparts permanent flexibility and adhesion in acrylic copolymer-based sealants used in construction and automotive applications.
• UV-Curable Resins: Acts as a reactive diluent and flexibility modifier in inks, coatings, and 3D printing resins that cure under ultraviolet light.
• Plastic Additives: Employed in the synthesis of impact modifiers and processing aids for engineering plastics.

Quality Control

Our Decyl Acrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity, and impurity profile analysis, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for polymerization-grade monomers. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity (typically >98%), inhibitor content, and other critical parameters are provided with each shipment.

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, bases, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). The product contains an inhibitor (typically MEHQ) to prevent premature polymerization; storage conditions must be maintained to preserve inhibitor efficacy.
