Description

iso-Propyl Acrylate is a versatile and reactive acrylate ester monomer essential for creating high-performance polymers. Its primary value lies in its ability to impart flexibility, weatherability, and adhesion properties to acrylic resins and copolymers. This chemical is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty plastics industries seeking to enhance product performance.

Application

• Acrylic Resin Synthesis: A key monomer for producing thermoplastic acrylic resins used in automotive and industrial coatings.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Used to modify the tack and peel strength of adhesive formulations for tapes and labels.
• UV-Curable Inks & Coatings: Serves as a reactive diluent and crosslinker in radiation-curable systems for fast-drying applications.
• Textile & Leather Finishes: Imparts durable, flexible, and water-resistant properties to fabric and leather coatings.
• Paper Sizing Agents: Enhances the strength, printability, and water resistance of paper products.
• Specialty Polymer Additives: Used in the synthesis of impact modifiers and processing aids for engineering plastics.

Quality Control

Our iso-Propyl Acrylate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, purity, and inhibitor content. Our quality protocols are designed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial polymerization processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its properties of being light-sensitive and easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) and maintain the recommended inhibitor levels to prevent premature polymerization. Typical storage temperature is 15-25°C.
