Description

Methacrylic Acid 3-Chloro-2-Hydroxy-2-Methylpropyl Ester is a specialized methacrylate monomer featuring both a reactive methacryloyl group and a chlorohydrin functionality, making it a versatile building block for advanced polymer synthesis. This compound is valued for its ability to introduce cross-linking sites, polarity, and chemical handles into polymer backbones, significantly enhancing material properties. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty polymer industries for developing high-performance, functionalized resins.

Application

• As a key monomer in the synthesis of UV-curable resins for coatings, inks, and adhesives, providing fast curing and excellent film properties.
• In the production of reactive diluents and cross-linking agents for acrylic and epoxy systems to modify viscosity and enhance chemical resistance.
• For manufacturing ion-exchange resins and chelating polymers used in water treatment and purification processes.
• As a functional intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical polymers and controlled-release drug delivery systems.
• In the formulation of dental composites and restorative materials to improve bonding strength and durability.
• For creating surface-modifying agents and primers that improve adhesion to difficult substrates like metals and plastics.
• In the development of hydrogels for biomedical and contact lens applications due to its hydrophilic and reactive nature.

Quality Control

Our production of Methacrylic Acid 3-Chloro-2-Hydroxy-2-Methylpropyl Ester adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC, identification by FT-IR, and quantification of key impurities like free methacrylic acid and moisture. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your specific technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent derivative, store separately from oxidizing agents, bases, and amines. Use appropriate corrosion-resistant storage materials.
