Description

2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, dodecyl ester, polymer with eicosyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate, 1-ethenyl-2-pyrrolidinone, hexadecyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate, 2-methylpropyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate and pentadecyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate is a high-performance, multi-component acrylic copolymer designed to deliver specific rheological and film-forming properties. This specialized polymer is engineered to provide excellent compatibility, stability, and functionality in demanding formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product performance and durability.

Application

• Industrial and Protective Coatings: Acts as a key film-forming agent and rheology modifier in solvent-based and high-solids coatings, providing durability, gloss, and chemical resistance.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Used to formulate adhesives with balanced tack, peel strength, and shear resistance for tapes and labels.
• Personal Care & Cosmetic Products: Functions as a film former and fixative in hair sprays, mousses, and styling gels, offering strong hold with good feel.
• Printing Inks: Serves as a resin component to improve adhesion, rub resistance, and gloss in specialty ink formulations.
• Textile and Leather Finishes: Imparts water repellency, softness, and a durable protective layer to fabrics and leather goods.
• Plastic Additives: Used as a processing aid or surface modifier to enhance the properties of plastic compounds.

Quality Control

Our production of this advanced acrylic copolymer adheres to strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. While specifications vary by grade, typical quality parameters monitored include monomer residue, molecular weight distribution, viscosity, solids content, and appearance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the specific results for your batch is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat sources and open flame. Under these conditions, the product is typically stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture. For optimal performance, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and humidity.
