Lauryl Methacrylate (LMA)

Lauryl Methacrylate (LMA) is a long-chain alkyl methacrylate monomer known for imparting flexibility, hydrophobicity, and excellent durability to polymer systems. Its extended C12 alkyl chain provides low glass transition temperatures, making it ideal for enhancing softness, impact resistance, and water repellency in formulated products. LMA also offers excellent compatibility with other acrylate and methacrylate monomers, enabling tailored performance across a wide range of applications.

Key Features:

• Provides flexibility and lowers glass transition temperature (Tg)

• Enhances hydrophobicity and moisture resistance

• Improves durability, impact resistance, and film-forming properties

• Offers excellent compatibility in copolymer systems

• Contributes to smooth flow and improved surface aesthetics

Applications:

• Water-resistant and flexible coatings

• Sealants requiring softness and long-term durability

• Pressure-sensitive and construction adhesives

• Flexible acrylic resins and polymer modifiers

• Textile and leather treatments for repellency and softness
