Epoxy-functional acrylates and methacrylates are versatile monomers that combine polymerizable carbon–carbon double bonds with reactive epoxy groups. This dual functionality makes them useful for developing specialty polymers, UV-curable coatings, adhesives, and advanced functional materials.
UCHEM offers two related epoxy-functional monomers:
- 3,4-Epoxycyclohexylmethyl Acrylate - CAS:64630-63-3
- 3,4-Epoxycyclohexylmethyl Methacrylate - CAS:82428-30-6
Both compounds feature an epoxycyclohexyl group and a polymerizable acrylate or methacrylate functionality. The acrylate derivative is suitable for applications requiring acrylate-based polymerization, while the methacrylate analogue provides an alternative monomer structure for tailoring polymer properties and formulation performance.
These materials can be considered for applications including:
- UV-curable coatings and printing materials
- Specialty adhesives and sealants
- Functional polymer synthesis
- Resin modification and crosslinking systems
- Electronic and advanced coating materials
By offering both acrylate and methacrylate options, UCHEM provides customers with greater flexibility when selecting functional monomers for different polymerization systems and formulation requirements.
