Description

Maleic Acid-Allyl Alcohol Copolymer is a synthetic polymer derived from the copolymerization of maleic acid and allyl alcohol, creating a versatile material with reactive carboxyl and hydroxyl functionalities. This unique structure provides excellent film-forming, dispersing, and cross-linking properties, making it a valuable intermediate and additive in advanced industrial formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, textile, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance product performance and durability.

Application

• Coatings & Inks: Acts as a binder, dispersant, and cross-linking agent in water-based and solvent-based formulations to improve adhesion, gloss, and chemical resistance.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Serves as a key polymeric component to enhance tack, cohesion, and bonding strength on various substrates.
• Textile Processing: Used as a finishing agent and cross-linker for fabrics to impart wrinkle resistance, durable press properties, and soil release.
• Paper Sizing: Functions as a strengthening agent and internal sizing component to improve paper wet strength and printability.
• Dispersing Agent: Effective for stabilizing pigments and fillers in aqueous and non-aqueous systems for paints, plastics, and ceramics.
• Scale Inhibitor: Applied in water treatment formulations to control the precipitation of calcium carbonate and other mineral scales.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Potential use as a film-forming agent or controlled-release matrix in tablet coatings and drug delivery systems.
• Cross-linking Intermediate: Utilized in the synthesis of more complex polymers, resins, and hydrogels due to its reactive double bonds and functional groups.

Quality Control

Our Maleic Acid-Allyl Alcohol Copolymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent chemical composition, molecular weight distribution, and performance characteristics. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as acid value, solid content, viscosity, and appearance are available upon request to 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 room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
