Description

Poly(2-Butoxyethyl Acrylate) is a synthetic polymer derived from the monomer 2-butoxyethyl acrylate, characterized by its unique combination of flexibility, adhesion, and chemical resistance. This polymer is valued for its ability to modify the physical properties of coatings, adhesives, and sealants, enhancing performance in demanding environments. It is primarily sought by formulators in the paints & coatings, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and specialty polymer industries for developing advanced material solutions.

Application

• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Imparts excellent tack, peel strength, and flexibility for labels and tapes.
• Coatings and Inks: Used as a modifying resin to improve adhesion, gloss, and weatherability on various substrates.
• Sealants and Caulks: Enhances elasticity, durability, and water resistance in construction and automotive applications.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a plasticizer or compatibilizer to tailor the glass transition temperature (Tg) and mechanical properties of acrylic and other polymer systems.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Provides soft hand feel, water repellency, and durability to treated fabrics and leathers.
• Industrial Adhesives: A key component in formulations requiring strong bonding to plastics, metals, and treated surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Poly(2-Butoxyethyl Acrylate) is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent properties such as molecular weight distribution, viscosity, residual monomer content, and glass transition temperature. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these parameters are available upon request 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 sources and open flame. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere to maintain polymer stability.
