Description

2-Methylheptadecyl Acrylate is a high-purity, long-chain acrylate ester monomer. This specialty chemical is valued for its ability to impart unique properties, such as low-temperature flexibility, hydrophobicity, and internal plasticization, to polymer chains. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the polymer, coatings, and adhesives industries seeking to develop advanced materials with tailored performance characteristics.

Application

• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Used to modify tack, peel strength, and low-temperature performance.
• Acrylic Polymer & Resin Synthesis: Serves as a comonomer to introduce long, branched alkyl side chains, enhancing flexibility and solubility.
• Specialty Coatings & Inks: Imparts water resistance, weatherability, and improved substrate adhesion in formulations.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Acts as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of viscosity index improvers and other functional additives.
• Textile & Leather Finishing Agents: Utilized in polymers that provide soft hand feel, water repellency, and durability.
• UV-Curable Resins & Oligomers: Incorporated to reduce viscosity and modify the cured film properties in radiation-curable systems.

Quality Control

Our 2-Methylheptadecyl Acrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent purity and consistency standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 heat, sparks, and open flame. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent polymerization and oxidation.
