Description

n-Pentyl Acrylate is a versatile acrylate ester monomer prized for its ability to impart flexibility, hydrophobicity, and low-temperature performance to polymer chains. This compound is essential for formulators seeking to fine-tune the physical properties of acrylic resins and copolymers for demanding applications. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty polymer industries.

Application

• Acrylic Resin Modifier: Used as a co-monomer to enhance the flexibility, adhesion, and water resistance of acrylic polymers for coatings and paints.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): A key component in the synthesis of acrylic-based PSAs, contributing to tack and peel strength.
• UV-Curable Inks & Coatings: Serves as a reactive diluent and cross-linking agent in formulations cured by ultraviolet light.
• Textile & Leather Finishes: Incorporated into polymer emulsions to create durable, flexible finishes for fabrics and synthetic leather.
• Sealants and Caulks: Improves the elasticity and longevity of acrylic sealants used in construction and automotive applications.
• Specialty Acrylic Elastomers: Employed in the production of high-performance elastomers requiring low glass transition temperatures (Tg).

Quality Control

Our n-Pentyl Acrylate is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity, and impurity profile analysis, to ensure it meets precise specifications for polymerization-grade monomers. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your production processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maximize shelf life and inhibit premature polymerization. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and evaporation.
