General description

2-Isocyanatoethyl methacrylate, belongs to the class of monomers known as isocyanate monomers. The presence of the isocyanate functional group in 2-Isocyanatoethyl methacrylate makes it highly reactive. This reactivity allows it to undergo polymerization and form cross-linked networks for the development of polymers with improved mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and adhesion properties. It is also used as a crosslinker in the manufacture of many resins, in electrodeposition, and adhesives, and as a co-monomer in crosslinked polymer polyolstyrene-acrylic resin, which is used in construction products, such as ceramic tile adhesives, fillers, putties, and elastomeric roof coatings.[1][2][3]

Application

2-Isocyanatoethyl methacrylate can be used as:
  • A reactive monomer in the synthesis of poly(methyl urethane) acrylate oligomer for UV-curable coatings. By incorporating urethane and acrylate groups into the polymer, it enables the polymer to be utilized in UV-curable coatings, inks, and adhesives.
  • An additive in propylene carbonate-based electrolyte to enhance its properties, such as viscosity, conductivity, and stability. This improves the overall performance of the electrolyte and the battery.
  • As a modifier in the copolymerization process to prepare a bioprosthetic heart valve, which is used in the application of transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
  • A latent cross-linker for adhesive resins and coatings.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
