Function:
1. Butyl methacrylate has high polymerization activity, and can form copolymers with different properties through free radical polymerization, emulsion polymerization, solution polymerization and other polymerization methods.
2 can introduce butyl ester groups into polymers to increase the flexibility, water resistance and weather resistance of polymers.
3. It has good solubility in a variety of organic solvents.
Application:
1. It is an important monomer for the preparation of acrylate coatings, which can be used in the production of automobile paints, architectural coatings, wood coatings and so on.
2. Used in the manufacture of pressure-sensitive adhesive, structural adhesive and other adhesive products, widely used in packaging, electronics, leather, textiles and other industries bonding.
3. It can be used as modified monomer in the production of plastics and rubber.
4. As the raw material of textile auxiliaries, it is used in the synthesis of textile finishing agent, anti-wrinkle agent, waterproofing agent, etc. It can make the textiles have good anti-wrinkle agent.
