Description

8-(2-Hydroxypropoxy)-1,4,12-Trimethyl-14-Oxo-3,6,10,13-Tetraoxahexadec-15-En-1-Yl Acrylate is a specialized acrylate ester monomer with a complex polyether backbone, designed for advanced polymer synthesis. This compound matters for its ability to impart unique properties such as enhanced hydrophilicity, flexibility, and crosslinking potential into polymeric materials. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and formulators in the photopolymer, specialty coatings, and advanced adhesive industries seeking to develop next-generation functional materials.

Application

• Photopolymer Resins: A key reactive diluent and crosslinker in UV-curable formulations for 3D printing (SLA/DLP), coatings, and inks.
• Specialty Coatings: Used to synthesize polymers for high-performance, flexible, and weatherable industrial and optical coatings.
• Advanced Adhesives: Serves as a functional monomer to modify the tack, adhesion, and curing profile of pressure-sensitive and structural adhesives.
• Hydrogel Synthesis: Employed in the creation of hydrophilic and biocompatible polymer networks for biomedical and contact lens applications.
• Modifier for Polyurethanes & Polyesters: Incorporated as a chain extender or modifier to alter the solubility, Tg, and mechanical properties of engineering plastics.
• Electronics & Optoelectronics: Used in the development of polymeric materials for photoresists, optical films, and encapsulation layers.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 8-(2-Hydroxypropoxy)-1,4,12-Trimethyl-14-Oxo-3,6,10,13-Tetraoxahexadec-15-En-1-Yl Acrylate undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity and performance. Our quality protocols are designed to meet the stringent requirements of polymer R&D and production. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its acrylate functionality and sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability and to minimize polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
