Description

2-Propenoic Acid, 2-Methyl-, Dodecyl Ester, Polymer With Tetradecyl 2-Methyl-2-Propenoate CAS NO 27323-09-7 is a high-performance copolymer of lauryl methacrylate and myristyl methacrylate, designed to deliver exceptional film-forming and hydrophobic properties. This material is engineered to provide superior compatibility and durability in demanding formulations, ensuring consistent performance and product stability. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and personal care industries seeking to enhance water resistance, flexibility, and surface protection in their end products.

Application

• Industrial Coatings: Used as a key film-forming agent and modifier in solvent-based and high-solids coatings to improve water repellency, gloss, and chemical resistance.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Imparts flexibility, adhesion, and moisture resistance in pressure-sensitive adhesives and construction sealants.
• Personal Care Products: Functions as a film former and water-resistant agent in sunscreens, hair styling products, and long-wear cosmetic formulations.
• Printing Inks: Enhances rub resistance, gloss, and substrate adhesion in specialty printing inks.
• Textile & Leather Finishes: Provides durable water repellency (DWR) and soft hand feel to treated fabrics and leather goods.
• Plastic Additives: Acts as a processing aid and internal lubricant to improve flow and surface finish in polymer compounding.
