Description

n-Amyl Methacrylate is a versatile, high-purity monomer belonging to the methacrylate ester family, identified by CAS NO 2849-98-1. It is valued for its ability to impart flexibility, hydrophobicity, and low-temperature properties to polymer chains, making it a critical building block for advanced materials. This product is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty plastics industries seeking to enhance product performance.

Application

n-Amyl Methacrylate is a key intermediate in the synthesis of polymers with tailored properties. Its primary applications include:

• Acrylic Resin Modification: Used as a co-monomer to improve the flexibility, impact resistance, and water repellency of acrylic polymers for coatings and paints.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Incorporated to adjust the tack and peel adhesion properties of adhesive formulations.
• Specialty Elastomers and Sealants: Enhances low-temperature flexibility and weatherability in rubber and sealant products.
• Fiber and Textile Treatment: Serves as a component in coatings and finishes to provide water and oil resistance to fabrics.
• Lubricant and Fuel Additives: Acts as a precursor for viscosity index improvers and other functional additives.
• Optical Materials: Used in the production of certain optical polymers due to its clarity and stability.

Quality Control

Our n-Amyl Methacrylate is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. For long-term stability, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C (59-77°F). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and initiators.
