Poly(octyl methacrylate)

polymer

Poly(octyl methacrylate) is an acrylic polymer derived from methacrylate monomers with long octyl side chains, producing a soft, flexible material with low-temperature behavior. It is primarily used in research and specialized formulations for coatings, adhesives, and elastomeric applications where flexibility at low temperatures and hydrophobic properties are advantageous. The long alkyl substituent distinguishes it from standard polymethyl methacrylate, making it relevant for engineers developing soft polymer blends, pressure-sensitive adhesives, or materials requiring maintained flexibility in cold environments.

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.
