Ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate

Description

Ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate is readily biodegradable and will be degraded within the wastewater treatment process. 

Uses

Ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate is an important acrylic functional monomer and is widely used in coatings, adhesives, electronics and composite materials. The cured film formed by it has strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is currently the most widely used multifunctional reactive diluting monomer.

Uses

Trimethylolpropane ethoxylate triacrylate can be used:

• As a cross-linking agent or a polymerizable monomer in the preparation of gel polymer electrolyte for Lithium-ion batteries. It enhances the thermal stability, ionic conductivity, and mechanical strength of the polymer.
• As a monomer to prepare UV-curable resins via v at photopolymerization, for stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP). These techniques have potential applications in the 3D printing of medical devices, soft robots, dental implants, Optical adhesives, and microfluidic devices.
• To synthesize inverse micropatterned photonic crystal (PhC) films via photopolymerization for the detection of alcohol content in water.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Synthesis

Novel sulfonated phenylamine ionic liquids were prepared through a simple ring-opening reaction of phenylamine with 1,3-propanesulfonate (PS) and evaluated as catalysts for the esterification of trimethylolpropane and acrylic acid to produce Ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate.

Toxics Screening Level

The initial threshold screening level for triacrylate ester is 0.1 μg/m3 based on an annual averaging time.
