BASF's new product 2-Octyl Acrylate (2-OA) forms an essential addition to their Acrylic and Methacrylic Ester portfolio.

Enabling that positive development is BASF's 2-Octyl Acrylate. This specialty monomer will not only improve the performance of your emulsion polymerization products, but also deliver 73 percent bio-based content.

C14 bio-based monomer

The alcohol used for manufacturing 2-Octyl Acrylate is based on Castor Oil, and as a result, 2-Octyl Acrylate exhibits a C14 bio-based content of 73%. BASF is a founding member of Project Pragati, the world's first sustainable castor bean program, improving working conditions, creating awareness for sustainable farming, and increasing yields due to more efficient farming practices.

Advantages:

• Easy use in emulsion and solvent borne polymerization
• Straightforward alternative to purely fossil based monomers like 2-EHA and BA
• Enables good weatherability, improves scrub resistance
• High purity makes it ideal for low VOC applications

Balanced Solvency

Compared to other C14 bio-based monomers, 2-Octyl Acrylate is well-balanced in hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity. And with that, 2-Octyl Acrylate is well hydrophobic to improve the water resistance and durability of coatings and adhesives applications. On the other hand, the solubility of 2-Octyl Acrylate allows easy use in traditional emulsion polymerizations without requiring sophisticated adjustment, making it a perfect alternative to classic fossil-based standard monomers such as 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate and n-Butyl Acrylate.

Performance

Due to balanced steric hindrance, 2-Octyl Acrylate exhibits excellent hydrolytic stability compared to many classic fossil-based standard monomers. The monomer has been shown to provide excellent weatherability and helps to improve scrub resistance. Therefore, 2-Octyl Acrylate is one of the few C14 bio-based monomers which can be used in both standard and high-performance applications.

Low VOC

It is our vision to provide acrylic monomers to satisfy future needs. Therefore, BASF's 2-Octyl Acrylate manufacturing process affords the monomer high purity with the lowest residual alcohol and other VOC contributing impurities. Reliably high quality for a broad application spectrum.
