Description

o-Phenylphenoxyethyl Acrylate is a specialized acrylate monomer featuring a bulky, aromatic o-phenylphenoxy pendant group. This unique structure is engineered to impart enhanced properties such as improved adhesion, chemical resistance, and thermal stability to resulting polymers. It is a critical raw material for formulators and manufacturers in advanced coatings, adhesives, and specialty polymer sectors seeking to develop high-performance materials.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings and Inks: As a reactive diluent and crosslinker to formulate coatings with excellent surface hardness, adhesion to plastics and metals, and resistance to chemicals and abrasion.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): To enhance the cohesive strength, tack, and high-temperature performance of acrylic-based adhesive tapes and labels.
• Specialty Acrylic Resins: As a co-monomer for synthesizing acrylic polymers with tailored properties for industrial, automotive, and electronic applications.
• Fiber Optic Coatings: In the production of primary and secondary coatings that protect optical fibers, leveraging its fast cure and protective properties.
• Dental and Medical Polymers: For use in light-curable composites and restorative materials where biocompatibility and durable performance are required.
• Photoresists and Electronic Materials: As a key component in photopolymer formulations used in printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing and microelectronics.

Quality Control

Every batch of o-Phenylphenoxyethyl Acrylate is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure consistency and reliability. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including purity, color, and inhibitor content, to meet the exacting requirements of advanced polymer synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is available for each shipment upon request.

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 (59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its nature as a polymerizable monomer, it is stabilized with an appropriate inhibitor (e.g., MEHQ) and should be stored away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
