Description

2-Cyanoethoxyethyl Acrylate is a specialized acrylate monomer featuring a cyanoethoxyethyl functional group. This compound is valued for its ability to introduce polar, reactive sites into polymer chains, enhancing adhesion, crosslinking density, and material compatibility. It is primarily sought by formulators and researchers in the photopolymer, advanced adhesive, and specialty coating industries for developing high-performance materials.

Application

• Photopolymer & UV-Curable Systems: A key reactive diluent and crosslinking agent in resins for printing plates, stereolithography (SLA), and optical fibers.
• Specialty Adhesives: Enhances adhesion to polar substrates (e.g., metals, treated plastics) in structural and pressure-sensitive adhesive formulations.
• Functional Coatings: Used to modify surface properties, improving scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and weatherability in industrial and electronic coatings.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a comonomer to introduce pendant cyano groups for increased polarity, thermal stability, and solvent resistance in acrylic copolymers.
• Biomedical Materials: Investigated for use in hydrogel matrices and drug delivery systems where controlled reactivity and biocompatibility are required.
• Electronics & Optics: Potential application in the synthesis of polymers for optical waveguides, encapsulants, and dielectric materials.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Cyanoethoxyethyl Acrylate is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for each shipment, detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. Our commitment to consistent quality and traceability supports your R&D and manufacturing processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to preserve stability and prevent polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
