Description

Hexacosyl Methacrylate is a high molecular weight, long-chain alkyl methacrylate monomer. This specialty chemical is valued for its ability to impart exceptional hydrophobicity, flexibility, and low surface energy to polymer systems. It is primarily sought after by formulators and polymer chemists in the coatings, adhesives, and advanced materials sectors who require monomers to modify surface properties and enhance material performance under demanding conditions.

Application

• Surface Coating Modifier: Used to formulate hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings for textiles, paper, and leather to provide water and stain resistance.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Incorporated as a comonomer to adjust tack, peel strength, and improve low-temperature flexibility in adhesive tapes and labels.
• Lubricant and Release Agent Additive: Serves as a building block for polymers used in mold release agents, fiber lubricants, and anti-friction coatings.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: A key monomer for creating comb-like polymers, graft copolymers, and materials with tailored side-chain crystallinity for research and high-performance applications.
• Printing Inks and Toners: Enhances the rheological properties, gloss, and durability of inks, as well as the fusing properties of toner resins.
• Personal Care Polymers: Used in the synthesis of film-forming agents and rheology modifiers for hair styling and skincare products.

Quality Control

Our Hexacosyl Methacrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high purity and consistency, with key parameters including assay, acid value, and color. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your formulation requirements.

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 sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents and initiators. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to prevent premature polymerization.
