Description

3-Phenylpropyl Acrylate is a specialty acrylate monomer featuring a phenylpropyl group, which imparts unique properties to polymer chains. This compound is valued for its ability to enhance the hydrophobicity, refractive index, and thermal stability of acrylic polymers and copolymers. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and formulators in the adhesives, coatings, and specialty polymer industries for developing advanced materials with tailored performance characteristics.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings and Inks: As a reactive diluent and cross-linking agent to improve film hardness, adhesion, and chemical resistance.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): To modify tack, peel strength, and cohesion properties in acrylic adhesive formulations.
• Optical Polymers and Resins: Utilized in the synthesis of polymers with a high refractive index for lenses, optical fibers, and electronic displays.
• Specialty Acrylic Monomers: Serves as a building block for custom acrylic copolymers requiring enhanced hydrophobicity and aromatic character.
• Dental and Biomedical Materials: Incorporated into resin systems for composites, where specific mechanical and stability properties are required.
• Industrial Sealants and Elastomers: Used to improve the flexibility, durability, and environmental resistance of cured products.

Quality Control

Our 3-Phenylpropyl Acrylate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids, oxidizing agents, and sources of ignition. Due to its light-sensitive nature and reactivity, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability.
