Description

2-Propenoic acid, polymer with ethyl 2-propenoate, N-(hydroxymethyl)-2-propenamide and 2-propenamide is a specialized acrylic copolymer designed to deliver enhanced performance characteristics. This multi-component polymer is engineered to provide a unique balance of adhesion, crosslinking capability, and film-forming properties, making it a critical raw material for advanced industrial formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and textile finishing industries seeking to improve product durability and functionality.

Application

• Industrial Coatings Binder: Used as a key film-forming agent in water-based industrial and protective coatings, offering excellent adhesion to various substrates.
• Adhesive Formulations: Serves as a primary component in pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and structural adhesives, providing cohesive strength and tack.
• Textile Finishing & Nonwovens: Applied as a binder and stiffening agent in textile finishing, fabric coatings, and the production of nonwoven fabrics to enhance durability and hand feel.
• Paper Coating & Sizing: Utilized in paper coatings and surface sizing to improve printability, water resistance, and surface strength.
• Leather Finishing: Acts as a base for leather finishes and topcoats, providing flexibility, abrasion resistance, and a desired aesthetic finish.
• Crosslinking Component: The presence of N-(hydroxymethyl)-2-propenamide allows for thermal or catalytic crosslinking, enabling the production of thermosetting resins with improved chemical and heat resistance.

Quality Control

Our production of this acrylic copolymer adheres to strict quality management systems, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency for your formulations. Key parameters such as solid content, viscosity, pH, and monomer residue are rigorously tested. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

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/59-77°F). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product performance. Keep away from heat sources and open flame.
