Description

3,4-Epoxycyclohexylmethyl Methacrylate is a high-purity, specialty methacrylate monomer featuring a reactive epoxycyclohexyl group. This compound is valued for its dual functionality, enabling it to participate in both free-radical polymerization and epoxy ring-opening reactions, which is critical for creating advanced polymer networks with tailored properties. It is essential for R&D and production in industries requiring high-performance, cross-linkable coatings, adhesives, and composite materials.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings & Inks: A key component in formulations for wood, plastic, and metal coatings, providing excellent adhesion, hardness, and chemical resistance.
• Advanced Adhesives: Used in structural and optical adhesives where high strength, clarity, and environmental durability are required.
• Fiber-Reinforced Composites: Serves as a reactive diluent and cross-linking agent in resin matrices for automotive and aerospace components.
• Electronic Encapsulants & Potting Compounds: Imparts superior electrical insulation, thermal stability, and moisture resistance in protective electronics materials.
• Dental & Biomedical Materials: Employed in the synthesis of biocompatible polymers for restorative resins and bone cements.
• Optical Lenses & Films: Contributes to high-refractive-index polymers used in precision optical applications.

Quality Control

Our 3,4-Epoxycyclohexylmethyl Methacrylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are provided to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to maximize shelf-life and inhibit premature polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
