Description

3-Phenoxypropyl Methacrylate is a specialized methacrylate monomer featuring a phenoxypropyl side chain. This structural feature makes it a valuable building block for synthesizing polymers with tailored properties, such as enhanced flexibility, adhesion, and chemical resistance. It is primarily sought after by formulators and researchers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty polymer industries for developing advanced materials.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings and Inks: A key reactive diluent and crosslinking agent in formulations requiring fast curing, high gloss, and excellent surface adhesion.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Imparts tack, peel strength, and cohesive balance to acrylic-based adhesive systems.
• Specialty Acrylic Resins: Used to copolymerize with other acrylates and methacrylates to modify polymer glass transition temperature (Tg), solubility, and compatibility.
• Fiber Optic Coatings: Contributes to the synthesis of protective primary and secondary coatings with specific refractive indices and mechanical properties.
• Dental and Biomedical Polymers: Serves as a monomer in the development of biocompatible resins for restorative materials and medical devices.
• Photoresists and Electronic Chemicals: Used in the production of light-sensitive polymers for semiconductor and printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing.

Quality Control

Our 3-Phenoxypropyl Methacrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for industrial and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to prevent premature polymerization.
