Description

2-Propenoic Acid, Butyl Ester, Polymer With 2-Ethylhexyl 2-Propenoate is a high-performance acrylic copolymer, specifically a butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate copolymer, known for its excellent film-forming properties, flexibility, and durability. This material is essential for formulators seeking to enhance the performance characteristics of coatings, adhesives, and sealants. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the paints and coatings, pressure-sensitive adhesives, textile finishing, and construction materials industries to improve product elasticity, weather resistance, and adhesion.

Application

• Architectural and Industrial Coatings: Used as a key binder in water-based paints and varnishes to provide excellent film formation, flexibility, and resistance to weathering and yellowing.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Serves as a primary component in adhesive tapes and labels, offering a balance of tack, peel strength, and shear resistance.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Applied as a coating or binder to impart softness, water repellency, and durability to fabrics and leather goods.
• Construction Sealants and Caulks: Enhances the elasticity, adhesion, and longevity of sealants used in joints and gaps.
• Paper Coatings: Improves the surface gloss, printability, and water resistance of paper and paperboard.
• Industrial Binders: Acts as a binding agent in non-woven fabrics, fiberglass mats, and other composite materials.

Quality Control

Our acrylic copolymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters including monomer content, molecular weight distribution, viscosity, solids content, and glass transition temperature (Tg) to ensure consistent performance and batch-to-batch uniformity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Avoid freezing and prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Keep away from sources of ignition and incompatible materials.
