Poly(dodecyl acrylate)

polymer

Poly(dodecyl acrylate) is a synthetic acrylic polymer with a long alkyl side chain, belonging to the family of polyacrylates commonly used in adhesives, coatings, and elastomeric applications. This material exhibits low glass transition temperature, making it flexible and resilient at ambient conditions—a property valued in pressure-sensitive adhesives, elastomers, and soft coating formulations where flexibility and tack are critical. Relative to rigid acrylics or other synthetic rubbers, poly(dodecyl acrylate) offers tailorable softness and is typically used as a base polymer or copolymer component rather than standalone, enabling engineers to formulate custom adhesive and elastomeric blends for demanding bonding and damping applications.

Safety & Biocompatibility

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
