Description

Isotridecyl Methacrylate is a high-purity, long-chain alkyl methacrylate monomer. This compound is valued for its ability to impart low-temperature flexibility, hydrophobicity, and excellent weatherability to polymer chains. It is essential for formulators and polymer chemists in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty plastics industries seeking to modify surface properties and enhance material performance.

Application

• Primary monomer for synthesizing acrylic copolymers with low glass transition temperatures (Tg).
• Key ingredient in UV-curable resins and inks for coatings and graphic arts, offering fast cure and durability.
• Modifier for pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) to improve tack and adhesion to low-energy surfaces.
• Component in metal coating formulations to enhance corrosion resistance and flexibility.
• Used in the production of oil additives and lubricant viscosity index improvers.
• Building block for specialty polymers used in caulks, sealants, and fiber treatments.
