1,3-Butylene Glycol Dimethacrylate (BGDMA)

CAS#: 1189-08-8
Synonyms: BGDMA

1,3-Butylene Glycol Dimethacrylate (BGDMA) is a di-functional methacrylate monomer designed to improve flexibility, cross-linking, and chemical resistance in polymer systems. Its dual methacrylate groups allow for efficient network formation, providing cured polymers with enhanced toughness and dimensional stability. BGDMA is commonly used in coatings, adhesives, and dental materials where both mechanical performance and durability are essential.

Key Features:

• Di-functional monomer enabling strong cross-linking

• Enhances flexibility, toughness, and chemical resistance

• Improves dimensional stability and durability of cured systems

• Compatible with a wide range of acrylate and methacrylate monomers

• Low to moderate viscosity for easy formulation and processing

Applications:

• Dental composites and restorative materials

• High-performance adhesives

• Coatings requiring enhanced flexibility and chemical resistance

• Specialty polymer systems and UV-curable formulations
