Description

Poly(Lauryl Methacrylate-Co-Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate) is a synthetic copolymer designed to impart specific rheological and performance characteristics. This product is valued for its ability to function as a versatile viscosity modifier and pour point depressant in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the lubricant, paint, coating, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product stability and performance under varying temperature conditions.

Application

• Lubricant & Grease Additive: Acts as a high-performance viscosity index improver and pour point depressant in engine oils, gear oils, and industrial lubricants.
• Paint & Coating Modifier: Used to control rheology, improve leveling, and prevent sagging in solvent-based and high-solid coatings.
• Personal Care Thickener: Functions as a non-ionic rheology modifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products for enhanced texture and stability.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulation: Imparts thixotropic properties and improves the application characteristics of various adhesive systems.
• Printing Ink Modifier: Enhances the flow and transfer properties of inks, contributing to print quality and consistency.
• Plastic & Rubber Processing Aid: Can be used as a processing aid or internal lubricant to improve mold release and surface finish.
