Description

2-Propoxyethyl Methacrylate is a monofunctional methacrylate monomer featuring a propoxyethyl side chain. This compound is valued for its ability to impart flexibility, adhesion, and low shrinkage to polymer systems, making it a versatile building block for advanced materials. It is primarily utilized by formulators and manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty polymer industries seeking to modify the physical properties of their end products.

Application

• As a reactive diluent and crosslinking agent in UV-curable coatings, inks, and adhesives.
• Modification of acrylic resins to improve flexibility, impact resistance, and adhesion to various substrates.
• Key monomer in the synthesis of specialty polymers for pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs).
• Component in dental restorative materials and composites for controlled polymerization.
• Used in the production of fiber optic coatings and other optical applications.
• Manufacture of water treatment polymers and flocculants.
• Additive for lubricants and fuel additives to modify viscosity and performance.

Quality Control

Our 2-Propoxyethyl Methacrylate is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical properties is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and 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 (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. To maintain optimal quality and inhibit premature polymerization, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere and use appropriate polymerization inhibitors as supplied.
