Acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate, also known as AAEMA, is a low viscosity, monofunctional methacrylate. The two ketone groups in its' backbone can chelate various cations allowing for adhesion between methacrylate resins or plastics and metals. The homopolymer of acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate has a low Tg creating the potential for use as a toughening agent in polymer systems. CAS # 21282-97-3
-
Hydroxyethyl methacrylate or HEMA is a high purity methacrylate monomer with many applications including: contact lenses, anaerobic adhesives, light-curing systems and high performance coatings.
-
HEMA is a primary alcohol making it a good adhesion promoter in anaerobic adhesives. The purity level of this methacrylate monomer also makes it cost efficient.
-
This HEMA has the adhesive qualities and multiple applications of other hydroxyethyl methacrylates along with additional stability.
