Description

n-tert-Octylacrylamide (CAS NO 4223-03-4) is a specialized acrylamide derivative valued for its role as a reactive monomer in advanced polymer synthesis. Its chemical structure, featuring a bulky tert-octyl group, is engineered to impart unique properties to the resulting copolymers, such as enhanced hydrophobicity, improved chemical resistance, and tailored glass transition temperatures. This high-purity intermediate is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty materials sectors seeking to develop products with superior performance characteristics.

Application

• Hydrophobic Modifier for Acrylic Polymers: Incorporated into acrylic resin formulations to increase water repellency and durability in coatings and paints.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Used as a comonomer to adjust tack, peel strength, and shear resistance in adhesive tapes and labels.
• Specialty Crosslinking Agent: Employed in the production of crosslinked polymer networks for enhanced mechanical strength and solvent resistance.
• Oil & Gas Field Chemicals: A key component in polymers used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and as fluid loss additives in drilling muds.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Imparts water and stain resistance to fabrics and leather goods through polymer finishing treatments.
• Photoresist and Electronic Materials: Serves as a monomer in photopolymerizable compositions for microelectronics and imaging applications.
