Description

2-[(Chlorocarbonyl)Oxy]Ethyl Acrylate is a specialized bifunctional monomer containing both an acrylate and a reactive acid chloride group. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing advanced polymers and functional materials with tailored properties. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the specialty chemical, advanced materials, and pharmaceutical intermediate sectors for creating cross-linked networks, surface-modifying agents, and custom acrylic resins.

Application

• Cross-linking Agent: Used to introduce cross-links into acrylic and vinyl polymer systems, enhancing their thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a key intermediate for grafting functional groups onto polymer backbones to alter surface properties like adhesion, wettability, or biocompatibility.
• UV-Curable Resins & Coatings: Incorporated into formulations for inks, adhesives, and protective coatings that cure rapidly under UV light, benefiting from its acrylate functionality.
• Specialty Monomer for Hydrogels: Employed in the synthesis of hydrogels for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery systems or contact lenses, due to its ability to form covalent bonds with amines or alcohols.
• Synthesis of Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a building block in organic synthesis for creating more complex molecules with specific ester and carbonyl chloride functionalities.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Enhances the performance of high-strength industrial adhesives by contributing to improved bonding and durability.

Quality Control

Our 2-[(Chlorocarbonyl)Oxy]Ethyl Acrylate is manufactured under strict process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profile analysis via chromatographic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and related substances is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to maximize stability, given its moisture-sensitive and light-sensitive nature. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as amines, alcohols, strong bases, and oxidizing agents.
