Description

Iso-Amyl Methacrylate is a high-purity, monofunctional methacrylate monomer characterized by its branched alkyl chain. This chemical structure is critical for modifying polymer properties, offering enhanced flexibility, hydrophobicity, and lower glass transition temperatures in copolymer systems. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty polymer industries seeking to fine-tune material performance.

Application

• Acrylic Resin Modifier: Used to impart internal plasticization, improving flexibility and low-temperature performance in acrylic coatings and paints.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): A key comonomer for adjusting tack, peel strength, and shear resistance in adhesive formulations.
• UV-Curable Systems: Serves as a reactive diluent and crosslinking agent in inks, coatings, and 3D printing resins cured by ultraviolet light.
• Specialty Polymers: Employed in the synthesis of impact modifiers, processing aids, and lubricant additives for engineering plastics.
• Fiber Optics & Optical Materials: Used in the production of cladding materials and optical adhesives due to its clarity and refractive index properties.
• Dental & Medical Materials: A component in biocompatible polymers for dental composites and bone cements.

Quality Control

Our iso-Amyl Methacrylate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch is analyzed to ensure high chemical purity and consistency, meeting the exacting requirements of polymer synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee supply reliability and performance for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and polymerization.
