Description

Poly-n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Acrylamide is a functional, water-soluble polymer derived from the monomer N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)acrylamide. This compound is valued for its reactive hydroxyl groups and amide functionality, which enable its use as a versatile building block for creating advanced polymeric materials with tailored properties. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, biomedical, and specialty coatings industries for applications requiring biocompatibility, adhesion, and moisture retention.

Application

• Hydrogel Formulation: A key component in the synthesis of superabsorbent and stimuli-responsive hydrogels for biomedical and agricultural uses.
• Personal Care Products: Used as a film-forming agent, thickener, and moisturizer in hair styling gels, creams, and lotions.
• Contact Lens Materials: Serves as a hydrophilic monomer to enhance the water content and comfort of soft contact lenses.
• Drug Delivery Systems: Employed in the fabrication of polymeric carriers for controlled release of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
• Adhesives and Sealants: Functions as a modifier to improve the adhesion and flexibility of water-based adhesive formulations.
• Paper & Textile Sizing: Acts as a strengthening agent and coating material to improve product quality and performance.

Quality Control

Our Poly-n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Acrylamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent molecular weight distribution, purity, and performance characteristics. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, residual monomer content, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
