Description

3,4-Epoxycyclohexylmethyl Acrylate is a high-purity, reactive bifunctional monomer containing both an epoxy and an acrylate group. This unique structure makes it a critical cross-linking agent and modifier in advanced polymer formulations, enabling enhanced performance characteristics. It is essential for manufacturers in the UV-curable coatings, advanced adhesives, and specialty resin industries seeking to improve hardness, chemical resistance, and adhesion properties.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings & Inks: A key component in formulations for wood, plastic, and metal coatings, providing rapid curing, high gloss, and excellent surface hardness.
• Photoresists & Electronic Materials: Used in the production of photopolymerizable resins for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and semiconductor packaging due to its high reactivity and resolution.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Serves as a reactive diluent and cross-linker in acrylic and epoxy-based adhesive systems, enhancing bond strength and environmental resistance.
• Fiber Optic Coatings: Employed in protective coatings for optical fibers, where its dual functionality ensures durability and signal integrity.
• Dental & Medical Composites: Utilized in light-curable restorative materials and biocompatible polymer matrices.
• 3D Printing Resins: A valuable monomer in stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) resins, contributing to precise, high-strength printed parts.

Quality Control

Our 3,4-Epoxycyclohexylmethyl Acrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, purity, and impurity profile analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature and reactive functional groups, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for extended periods and use promptly after opening.
