We are excited to introduce our innovation - Lauryl Acrylate 12 F and 1214 F (LA 12 F & LA 1214 F). These mono-functional acrylic monomers are perfectly suited for different curing technologies, including thermal curing with peroxides and radiation curing with UV, providing you with the flexibility you need in your production processes.
LA 12 F & LA 1214 F form homopolymers and copolymers, allowing for customized formulations with a wide range of additives, including (meth)acrylic acid derivatives, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, styrene, and more. These monomers offer exceptional chemical and hydrolytic stability, hydrophobicity, abrasion resistance, flexibility, impact strength, low shrinkage, weatherability, and rheology modification.
Substainability performance:
In addition to their superior performance, our Lauryl Acrylate types also address sustainability trends. With their low toxicity, very low smell, and certified 14C bio-content (80%) sourced from natural Laury Alcohol, these monomers align with your commitment to environmental responsibility. And, thanks to BASF’s unique production process, LA 12 F & LA 1214 F are 100% solvent-free, providing a safer and healthier working environment and allows the production for sensitive products.
Key Features and Benefits of LA 12 F & LA 1214 F:
- Low viscosity (4-5 mPa*s at room temperature) for easy handling and formulation
- Low toxicity and very low smell for improved workplace safety
- Excellent compatibility with different curing technologies
- Exceptional chemical and hydrolytic stability
- Hydrophobicity, abrasion resistance, and flexibility
- Impact strength and low shrinkage
- Weatherability to withstand harsh environmental conditions
- Rheology modification
LA 12 F & LA 1214 F are the perfect solution, enabling you to create high-quality products that meet and exceed your customers' expectations.
