Description

Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Phenyl Ether Acrylate is a specialized reactive monomer featuring a hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) chain and a hydrophobic phenyl ether group. This unique amphiphilic structure makes it a critical component for synthesizing polymers with tailored surface properties, adhesion, and compatibility. It is essential for formulators and polymer chemists in industries such as advanced coatings, adhesives, and specialty materials requiring precise control over hydrophilicity and reactivity.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings and Inks: As a reactive diluent and modifier to enhance flexibility, adhesion to low-energy surfaces, and pigment wetting.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Used to adjust the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) and improve tack and peel properties.
• Hydrophilic Modification of Polymers: Incorporated into acrylic copolymers to increase water dispersibility or moisture permeability for membranes and films.
• Surface-Active Monomers: For the synthesis of surfactants and dispersants used in emulsion polymerization and pigment grinding.
• Biomaterial and Hydrogel Synthesis: Serves as a building block for creating biocompatible, cross-linkable polymers for medical and pharmaceutical applications.
• Fiber and Textile Finishes: Imparts durable hydrophilic and antistatic properties to synthetic fibers.

Quality Control

Our Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Phenyl Ether Acrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, composition, and performance. Key parameters such as assay, residual monomer content, and color are monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications 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 15-25°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Isolate from strong oxidizers and polymerization initiators.
