Description

Tetratriacontyl Acrylate is a high molecular weight, long-chain alkyl acrylate monomer. This specialty chemical is valued for its ability to impart unique hydrophobic, lubricating, and low-temperature flexibility properties to polymer formulations. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and formulators in the advanced materials and specialty coatings sectors for developing high-performance additives, synthetic lubricants, and pressure-sensitive adhesives.

Application

• Polymer Modification: Used as a co-monomer to introduce long alkyl side chains, enhancing hydrophobicity and internal plasticization in acrylic polymers.
• Specialty Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance ester-based lubricant additives and synthetic greases.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Incorporated to modify tack, peel adhesion, and low-temperature performance of acrylic adhesive tapes and labels.
• Surface Coatings: Imparts water repellency, slip resistance, and flexibility to industrial and protective coatings.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Acts as a hydrophobic agent and softener in fiber finishes and non-woven fabric binders.
• Release Agents & Mold Lubricants: A precursor for creating non-stick and easy-release formulations in molding and casting processes.

Quality Control

Our Tetratriacontyl Acrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC and impurity profiling, to ensure consistency and high purity suitable for demanding industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for identity, purity, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C) under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Isolate from strong oxidizing agents and polymerization initiators.
