Description

2-Butyloctyl Acrylate CAS NO 93841-23-7 is a high-purity, long-chain alkyl acrylate monomer essential for the synthesis of advanced polymers. Its unique branched structure imparts superior flexibility, low-temperature performance, and enhanced hydrophobicity to final materials. This product is a critical raw material for formulators and polymer chemists in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty plastics industries seeking to improve product durability and performance.

Application

• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): A key monomer for producing acrylic-based PSAs with excellent tack, peel strength, and low-temperature flexibility for tapes and labels.
• Coatings & Paints: Used in the formulation of high-performance acrylic resins for industrial, automotive, and architectural coatings, providing improved weatherability and water resistance.
• Plasticizers & Modifiers: Acts as a reactive plasticizer or co-monomer to modify the glass transition temperature (Tg) and flexibility of polymers like PVC and acrylics.
• Sealants & Caulks: Imparts permanent flexibility and adhesion in acrylic-based sealant formulations for construction and automotive applications.
• Textile & Leather Finishes: Employed in polymer emulsions for fabric coatings and leather finishing agents to enhance softness and durability.
• UV-Curable Systems: Serves as a reactive diluent or functional monomer in UV-curable inks, coatings, and 3D printing resins.

Quality Control

Our 2-Butyloctyl Acrylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and assay, to ensure it meets precise specifications for polymerization-grade monomers. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and key impurity profiles 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 away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). The product is light-sensitive and should be stored away from direct light exposure.
