Poly(hexadecyl acrylate)

polymer

Poly(hexadecyl acrylate) is a long-chain alkyl acrylate polymer synthesized by polymerizing hexadecyl acrylate monomers, belonging to the family of acrylate-based thermoplastics. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than an established commercial polymer, with potential applications in soft elastomers, adhesives, and pressure-sensitive coatings where low-temperature flexibility and hydrophobic character are advantageous. The extended alkyl side chain (C16) confers rubber-like properties and reduced brittleness compared to shorter-chain acrylates, making it relevant for engineering systems requiring impact resistance and thermal stability at moderate temperatures.

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.
