Description

2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, polymer with butyl 2-propenoate, N-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methyl-2-propenamide, methyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate and 2-methyl-2-propenamide Polymer of butyl acrylate, methylol methacrylamide, methacrylamide, methyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid is a multi-component acrylic copolymer designed for high-performance industrial applications. This specialized polymer is engineered to deliver a unique balance of properties, including excellent film formation, adhesion, and chemical resistance. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the coatings, adhesives, and textile finishing industries seeking to enhance product durability and functionality.

Application

• Industrial Coatings Binder: Used as a primary film-forming agent in solvent-based industrial and protective coatings, offering excellent gloss, hardness, and resistance to chemicals and weathering.
• Adhesive Formulations: Serves as a key component in high-strength structural and laminating adhesives, providing strong substrate adhesion and cohesive strength.
• Textile Finishing & Back-Coating: Applied in textile treatments to impart stiffness, wrinkle resistance, and durable press properties to fabrics, as well as in non-woven binders.
• Leather Finishing: Used in topcoat formulations for leather to provide a flexible, durable, and glossy finish that resists cracking and abrasion.
• Paper Coating & Sizing: Enhances the surface strength, printability, and water resistance of paper and paperboard products.
• Crosslinking Component: The presence of methylol methacrylamide provides reactive sites for thermal or acid-catalyzed crosslinking, enabling the production of thermoset coatings with enhanced performance.

Quality Control

Our acrylic copolymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance, including measurement of solids content, viscosity, acid value, and glass transition temperature (Tg). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications are provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your formulation requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Ideal storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent skinning or evaporation of solvent.
