Description

N,N'-Methylenebis[n-(Hydroxymethyl)Acrylamide] is a high-purity, multi-functional crosslinking agent featuring two reactive acrylamide groups and two hydroxymethyl groups. This unique molecular structure makes it a critical component for creating durable, chemically resistant polymer networks in advanced industrial applications. It is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty polymer industries seeking to enhance product performance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength.

Application

• Crosslinking Agent for Thermoset Polymers: Used in the production of high-performance coatings, industrial finishes, and powder coatings to improve hardness, chemical resistance, and durability.
• Fiber and Textile Treatment: Imparts permanent press, wrinkle resistance, and dimensional stability to fabrics through covalent bonding with cellulose fibers.
• Paper Wet-Strength Resin: A key monomer in the synthesis of polyamide-epichlorohydrin (PAE) resins, significantly increasing the wet tensile strength of paper and cardboard.
• Adhesive and Sealant Formulations: Enhances the cohesive strength, water resistance, and thermal properties of acrylic and polyurethane-based adhesives.
• Leather Tanning and Finishing: Acts as a crosslinker in polymer dispersions for leather finishing, improving fill, grain tightness, and resistance to washing.
• Photopolymer and Photoresist Systems: Serves as a crosslinking monomer in UV-curable inks, photoresists, and 3D printing resins for rapid curing and precise pattern formation.
• Hydrogel Synthesis: Utilized in the manufacture of superabsorbent polymers and contact lens materials to control swelling capacity and mechanical integrity.

Quality Control

Our N,N'-Methylenebis[n-(Hydroxymethyl)Acrylamide] is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications for crosslinking efficiency and reactivity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are provided with each shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and 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 a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and potential premature reaction.
