Description

Isotetradecyl Methacrylate is a high-purity, long-chain alkyl methacrylate monomer. This compound is valued for its ability to impart low surface energy, hydrophobicity, and excellent flexibility to polymer chains, making it a critical building block for advanced materials. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty polymer industries seeking to enhance product performance.

Application

• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Imparts tack and enhances low-temperature flexibility for tapes and labels.
• UV-Curable Coatings & Inks: Serves as a reactive diluent and modifier to improve adhesion and reduce viscosity.
• Acrylic Resin Modification: Used to copolymerize with other acrylates to create resins with superior weatherability and water resistance.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Acts as a precursor for viscosity index improvers and pour-point depressants.
• Textile & Leather Finishes: Provides durable, flexible, and water-repellent coatings.
• Specialty Elastomers: Enhances the oil resistance and low-temperature properties of acrylic rubbers.

Quality Control

Our Isotetradecyl Methacrylate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all key parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
