General description

1,4-Butanediol diacrylate(BDDA) is an acrylate monomer and a multifunctional crosslinking agent. It ​has a relatively low viscosity and undergoes photopolymerization, initiated by UV radiation. BDDA contributes to the flexibility and elasticity of the cured materials. It is used in optical films,3D printing, tissue engineering, dental composites, UV-curable adhesives, and sealants.

Application

1,4-Butanediol diacrylate can be used:



  • As a precursor to synthesize joint-linker hydrogels with good mechanical strength and used as scaffold materials in bone tissue engineering as biomimetics for natural tissues and also in drug delivery systems.[1]
  • To prepare anti-fouling coating for dental composites.[2]
  • As a crosslinking agent to prepare hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens(IOL) materials with reduced glistening.[3]
  • As a precursor to fabricate poly(β-amino ester) based solid polymer electrolytefilms for Li-ion batteries. BDDA enhances the ionic conductivity of theelectrolyte films.[4]

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. 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.

  2. 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
