Description

2-Propenoic Acid, Ethyl Ester, Polymer With 2-Ethylhexyl 2-Propenoate is a high-performance acrylic copolymer designed for industrial applications requiring durable film formation and excellent adhesion. This polymer is valued for its versatility, offering a balance of flexibility, water resistance, and chemical stability. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and sealants industries seeking to enhance product performance and durability.

Application

• Industrial Coatings: Used as a primary binder in water-based or solvent-based protective coatings for metal, wood, and plastic substrates, providing corrosion resistance and weatherability.
• Adhesives and Sealants: Serves as a key component in pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), construction sealants, and laminating adhesives, offering strong bonding and flexibility.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Applied in coatings and finishes to impart water repellency, softness, and improved abrasion resistance to fabrics and leather goods.
• Paper Coatings: Enhances the surface properties of paper and paperboard, improving printability, gloss, and grease resistance.
• Caulks and Putties: Formulated into elastic caulking compounds and automotive putties for durable sealing and filling applications.
• Inks: Used in the formulation of flexographic and gravure printing inks to improve adhesion and rub resistance on various surfaces.

Quality Control

Our acrylic copolymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot is tested against key parameters including solid content, viscosity, pH, and glass transition temperature (Tg). Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request 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 15-25°C (59-77°F). Avoid freezing and prolonged exposure to extreme heat to prevent changes in viscosity or polymer stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
