Overview
N-Butoxymethylacrylamide (CAS 1852-16-0 ) is a reactive acrylamide monomer used in the synthesis of crosslinkable polymers and copolymer systems. The butoxymethyl group enables thermally activated self-crosslinking.
This functionality allows formulators to build durable, cured networks without external crosslinker additions. In textile and leather finishing, it is incorporated into coating formulations to improve wash fastness.
It also enhances abrasion resistance and substrate adhesion after curing. Paper manufacturers use it to develop wet-strength resins and surface sizing agents where controlled crosslink density is critical to performance.
In printing and packaging, it functions as a reactive monomer in UV- or heat-curable binder systems. This contributes to ink and coating durability on demanding substrates during the manufacturing process.
Plastics and polymer producers use it as a comonomer to introduce latent crosslinking functionality into acrylic dispersions. It is also highly effective when utilized in various emulsion polymer applications.
N-Butoxymethylacrylamide is supplied as a liquid, typically at high purity grades suited for polymerization applications. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering for industrial chemical processes.
Specifications focus on monomer purity, inhibitor content, and residual butanol levels relevant to copolymerization performance. Packaging ranges from small drums to bulk quantities depending on production volumes.
