Description

2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, butyl ester, polymer with dodecyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate, 1-ethenyl-2-pyrrolidinone, hexadecyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate, octadecyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate and tetradecyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate is a high-performance, multi-component acrylic copolymer designed for advanced material science applications. This specialized polymer offers a unique balance of properties derived from its carefully selected monomer composition, including long-chain alkyl acrylates and vinylpyrrolidone. It is engineered for industries requiring tailored rheology, film formation, and surface modification capabilities. Key sectors that utilize this polymer include coatings, adhesives, and personal care product formulation.

Application

• Industrial and Protective Coatings: Acts as a key film-forming agent and binder, providing durability, water resistance, and flexibility to metal, wood, and plastic coatings.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Used to formulate adhesives with balanced tack, peel strength, and shear resistance for labels, tapes, and graphic films.
• Personal Care & Cosmetic Products: Functions as a film former, thickener, and stabilizer in hair styling products, sunscreens, and color cosmetics for long-lasting effects.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Imparts softness, water repellency, and improved handle to fabrics and leather goods.
• Printing Inks: Serves as a resin component to enhance gloss, adhesion, and rub resistance in various ink systems.
• Specialty Additives: Utilized as a rheology modifier, dispersing aid, or compatibilizer in complex polymer blends and composite materials.

Quality Control

Our production of this acrylic copolymer adheres to strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot is characterized for critical parameters including monomer content, molecular weight distribution, viscosity, and solids content. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with relevant global regulatory frameworks for industrial and specialty chemical applications.

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 sources and open flame. For long-term storage, an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended to prevent oxidation and maintain product stability.
