Tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate is a crosslinking agent of acrylic resins, employed to optimize the dilution of high-viscosity monomers and to link together the macromolecules costituting the polymer, to make their three-dimentional structure more rigid. Occupational dermatitis was reported in a dental technician.

Chemical Properties

Water-white to pale-straw liquid. Insoluble in water; soluble in styrene, many esters, and aromatics; limited solubility in aliphatic hydrocarbons. Combustible.

Uses

methacrylate present in adhesives; in polyethyleneglycol dimethacrylate in Loctite anaerobic sealants.

Uses

High purity PEG dimethacrylates are commonly used in PEG-based hydrogels and crosslinking hydrophilic polymers.

Uses

Plasticizer.

Hazard

Irritant to skin and eyes.
