Description

2-Propenoic Acid, 2-Methyl-, Polymer With Butyl 2-Propenoate, 2-Ethylhexyl 2-Propenoate And 2-Propenenitrile is a specialized acrylic copolymer designed to deliver a robust balance of properties for demanding industrial formulations. This multi-monomer polymer is engineered to provide excellent film formation, adhesion, and chemical resistance, making it a critical component for high-performance coatings and adhesives. It is essential for manufacturers in the paints & coatings, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and textile finishing industries seeking to enhance product durability and performance.

Application

• Architectural and Industrial Coatings: Used as a primary binder or additive to improve weatherability, gloss, and adhesion on various substrates including metal, wood, and plastic.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Serves as a key polymer for labels, tapes, and graphic films, offering a balance of tack, peel strength, and cohesion.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Applied as a coating or impregnating agent to provide water resistance, soft hand feel, and improved durability to fabrics and leather goods.
• Printing Inks: Utilized in formulations for flexographic and gravure inks to enhance pigment binding, print clarity, and substrate adhesion.
• Caulks and Sealants: Acts as a flexible polymeric base, contributing to long-term elasticity, adhesion, and resistance to environmental degradation.
• Paper Coatings: Improves surface strength, printability, and water resistance of paper and paperboard products.

Quality Control

Our acrylic copolymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Each lot is tested against key parameters including solid content, viscosity, pH, and glass transition temperature (Tg). Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided with every shipment. We support compliance with relevant global regulatory frameworks, including REACH.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from heat sources and open flame. For long-term storage, ensure containers are sealed to prevent skin formation or changes in viscosity.
