Description

Icosyl Acrylate is a long-chain acrylate ester monomer, a crucial building block for specialty polymers. This compound matters for its ability to impart flexibility, hydrophobicity, and low-temperature properties to acrylic resins and coatings. Industries such as adhesives, coatings, and polymer manufacturing need it to create high-performance materials with tailored characteristics. Icosyl Acrylate CAS NO 48076-38-6 is valued for its role in enhancing the durability and functionality of final products.

Application

• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Imparts permanent tack and flexibility for label and tape applications.
• UV-Curable Coatings and Inks: Acts as a reactive diluent to modify viscosity and enhance film flexibility.
• Acrylic Resin Modification: Used as a co-monomer to improve the low-temperature performance and water resistance of acrylic polymers.
• Specialty Lubricant Additives: Serves as a precursor for polymeric additives that modify viscosity and lubricity.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Contributes to soft, durable, and water-repellent surface treatments.
• Sealants and Caulks: Enhances adhesion, elasticity, and longevity in construction and industrial sealants.

Quality Control

Our Icosyl Acrylate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC or HPLC and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications for polymerization-grade monomers. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and key physical parameters 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). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. To maintain optimal quality and prevent premature polymerization, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) and consider the addition of a suitable inhibitor as specified in the product's technical data sheet.
