What is 2-(tert-butylamino)ethyl methacrylate?
2-(tert-Butylamino)ethyl methacrylate (CAS 3775-90-4), also marketed as Ageflex FM-4, is a functional methacrylate monomer carrying a secondary amine group.
Where is 2-(tert-butylamino)ethyl methacrylate used?
- Coatings and polymers: amine functionality for adhesion, crosslinking and surface modification
- Automotive and industrial coatings: acrylic copolymers for adhesion to metal and crosslinking with epoxy or isocyanate curatives
- Adhesives and sealants: amine-functional resins with controlled cure response and substrate bonding
- Printing inks and packaging coatings: copolymerization for ink adhesion and film cohesion on difficult substrates
- Plastics compounders and polymer producers use it as a reactive building block for pH-responsive or amine-functional specialty polymers.
Commercial specifications
- Liquid monomer with an inhibitor package for stability during storage and transport
- Bulk and drum quantities; sample quantities for formulation development and testing
