Description

2-Methyltridecyl Acrylate is a high-purity, long-chain alkyl acrylate monomer, a key building block for specialty polymers. This compound is valued for its ability to impart low-temperature flexibility, hydrophobicity, and excellent weatherability to acrylic copolymer systems. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and advanced materials sectors seeking to enhance product performance.

Application

• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Imparts tack and improves low-temperature performance and flexibility.
• UV-Curable Coatings & Inks: Serves as a reactive diluent and modifier to reduce viscosity and enhance film properties.
• Acrylic Polymer Emulsions: Used as a comonomer to increase hydrophobicity and chemical resistance in latex paints and industrial coatings.
• Textile & Leather Finishes: Modifies polymers to create soft, durable, and water-resistant finishes.
• Specialty Lubricant Additives: Acts as a precursor for polymeric additives that improve viscosity index and lubricity.
• Sealants and Caulks: Enhances flexibility, adhesion, and durability in elastomeric formulations.

Quality Control

Our 2-Methyltridecyl Acrylate is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for polymerization-grade monomers. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. To maintain optimal quality and inhibit premature polymerization, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) and consider the addition of a suitable inhibitor as specified on the technical data sheet.
