N-Methylolacrylamide
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
N-Methylolacrylamide (NMA) is a functional monomer offered as a 48% aqueous solution or in crystalline form. It possesses both vinyl and reactive methylol groups, allowing for unique cross-linking capabilities.
This Specialty Chemical is essential for improving the structural integrity of polymers through heat-induced curing. It provides excellent adhesion properties and resistance to water and organic solvents in various coatings.
The product is stabilized to prevent premature polymerization during storage and transport. It is a preferred cross-linking monomer for manufacturers producing high-performance adhesives and textile finishing agents.
APPLICATIONS
- Textile Finishing: Used to provide “permanent press” properties and crease resistance to cotton and synthetic fabrics.
- Adhesives & Binders: Integrated into emulsion polymers to enhance heat resistance and bonding strength in construction.
- Paper Processing: Employed as a wet-strength agent and binder in specialty paper manufacturing and coatings.
SAFETY & RISKS
Classified as Carcinogenic Category 1B and Skin Sensitizer. Strict adherence to chemical-resistant coveralls and full-face respirators is required during industrial processing.
PACKAGING
200 kg plastic drums or 1000 kg IBC tanks for aqueous solutions.
