4-Hydroxybutyl Acryrate Glycidyl Ether with a glycidylether group at the end of a longer alkyl chain, gives excellent scratch resistance due to its high crosslinking ratio and unique flexibility.This copolymer has good acid rain resistance.It is used in Paint and coating materials,UV/EB curable composition.
4HBAGE has a glycidylether functional group and a double bond group in the molecule.Various vinyl monomers can be copolymerized with 4HBAGE.The co-polymerized polymer with 4HBAGE achieves a higher crosslinking ratio with curing agents.This is because the glycidylether is further away from the copolymer backbone chain.This copolymer has good acid rain resistance.

The flask was charged with 144 g of 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate and 0.7 g of boron trifluoride ether complex as a catalyst, heated to 55 ° C., and then 92.5 g of epichlorohydrin was added dropwise over 2 hours with stirring. After completion of the dropwise addition, analysis by gas chromatography revealed that the conversion rate of 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate was about 70%, and most of it was converted to a chloroether form.
