Description

2-Propenoic Acid,2-[(3A,4,5,6,7,7A-Hexahydro-4,7-Methano-1H-Inden-5-Yl)Oxy]Ethyl Ester is a specialized acrylate ester monomer featuring a complex, rigid bicyclic structure derived from norbornene derivatives. This compound is valued for its ability to impart high thermal stability, chemical resistance, and hardness to polymer formulations. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and formulators in the advanced coatings, specialty adhesives, and high-performance resin industries.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings & Inks: As a reactive diluent or crosslinking agent to enhance scratch resistance, adhesion, and weatherability.
• Specialty Adhesives: Used to formulate high-strength structural and industrial adhesives with excellent durability.
• Advanced Composite Resins: A key monomer for creating high-performance thermoset polymers with superior mechanical properties.
• Photopolymer & 3D Printing Resins: Imparts rigidity and thermal stability to stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) resins.
• Optical Materials: Potential use in the synthesis of polymers for lenses, waveguides, and other optical components requiring clarity and stability.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a building block for further organic synthesis of more complex functional molecules.

Quality Control

Our production of 2-Propenoic Acid,2-[(3A,4,5,6,7,7A-Hexahydro-4,7-Methano-1H-Inden-5-Yl)Oxy]Ethyl Ester adheres to a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided to guarantee compliance with your technical specifications.

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). Due to its sensitivity to light and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
