Description

Hexacosyl Acrylate is a long-chain acrylate ester monomer, specifically the C26 derivative, known for its hydrophobic and film-forming properties. This high molecular weight monomer is crucial for imparting specific rheological characteristics, water resistance, and durability to polymeric materials. It is primarily sought by industrial manufacturers in the polymer, coatings, and specialty chemical sectors for developing advanced performance materials.

Application

• Polymer Modification: Used as a co-monomer to introduce long alkyl side chains, enhancing hydrophobicity, flexibility, and internal plasticization in acrylic polymers.
• Specialty Coatings & Inks: A key raw material for formulating high-performance, water-resistant industrial coatings, printing inks, and overprint varnishes.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Imparts low surface energy and improved adhesion to low-energy substrates in pressure-sensitive and structural adhesive formulations.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Serves as a precursor for viscosity index improvers and pour-point depressants in lubricating oils and fuel formulations.
• Surface Treatment Agents: Utilized in the synthesis of surface-active agents and textile finishing chemicals to provide water and oil repellency.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for synthesizing novel macromolecules with tailored properties for niche applications.

Quality Control

Our Hexacosyl Acrylate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC, identity confirmation (IR), and analysis of key impurities (e.g., residual alcohol, acid value, peroxide value) to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment.

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 minimize potential polymerization.
