Description

2-Propenoic Acid, 2-Methyl-, Methyl Ester, Polymer With Butyl 2-Propenoate, Methyl 2-Propenoate And 2-Propenoic Acid is a high-performance acrylic copolymer designed for demanding industrial applications. This versatile polymer offers an excellent balance of film-forming properties, adhesion, and chemical resistance, making it a critical component in advanced coating and adhesive formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the paints & coatings, adhesives & sealants, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance product durability and performance.

Application

• Industrial Paints & Coatings: Used as a primary binder or additive to improve gloss, weather resistance, and film integrity in metal, wood, and plastic coatings.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Serves as a key polymer backbone for pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), construction sealants, and laminating adhesives, providing strong tack and cohesion.
• Textile & Leather Finishes: Applied in coatings and finishes to impart water repellency, flexibility, and a durable hand feel to fabrics and leather goods.
• Paper & Packaging Coatings: Enhances the surface strength, printability, and moisture barrier properties of paperboard and packaging materials.
• Specialty Inks: Formulated into flexographic and gravure inks to achieve excellent adhesion on non-porous substrates and fast drying times.
• Construction Materials: Incorporated into cement modifiers and waterproofing membranes to improve flexibility, adhesion, and durability.

Quality Control

Our acrylic copolymer is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot is tested against comprehensive specifications for critical parameters including solids content, viscosity, pH, and glass transition temperature (Tg). Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided with every shipment. Our production adheres to relevant ISO standards, and we support compliance with global regulatory frameworks such as REACH.

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 exposure to extreme heat or freezing conditions to prevent changes in viscosity or polymer stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
