Description

2-Propenoic Acid, 2-Methyl-, Dodecyl Ester, Polymer With Methyl 2-Methyl-2-Propenoate And Tetradecyl 2-Methyl-2-Propenoate is a high-performance acrylic copolymer designed to deliver exceptional film-forming, water resistance, and durability. This specialized polymer is engineered to provide a robust, flexible matrix that enhances the performance and longevity of coatings and adhesives. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the paints & coatings, industrial adhesives, and textile finishing sectors seeking to improve product resilience and environmental resistance.

Application

• Industrial and Protective Coatings: Used as a key binder in metal primers, automotive underbody coatings, and corrosion-resistant industrial paints for its excellent adhesion and barrier properties.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Imparts tack, peel strength, and cohesive strength to labels, tapes, and graphic films.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Provides durable, water-repellent, and flexible finishes for fabrics, non-wovens, and synthetic leather.
• Printing Inks: Serves as a resin component in overprint varnishes and specialty inks to enhance gloss, rub resistance, and substrate adhesion.
• Caulks and Sealants: Contributes to flexibility, weather resistance, and long-term durability in construction and automotive sealants.
• Paper and Packaging Coatings: Improves water resistance, gloss, and printability of coated paperboard and packaging materials.

Quality Control

Our production of this acrylic copolymer adheres to stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Every lot is tested against key parameters including monomer residue, molecular weight distribution, viscosity, and glass transition temperature (Tg). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications is provided with each shipment. Our quality commitment aligns with ISO 9001 standards, and we support compliance with REACH and other global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from heat sources and open flame. Under these conditions, the product is typically stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture.
