Zinc methacrylate

Product Name: Zinc Methacrylate
Chemical Formula: Zn(C₄H₅O₂)₂ or Zn(MAA)₂
Cas No: 13189-00-9

Physical Properties:
Appearance: White or light yellow powder.
Melting Point: Approximately 120-130°C (high decomposition temperature, suitable for high-temperature processing).

Industry Applications:

I. Main Applications in Rubber Industry:
Vulcanization Crosslinking Agent: In peroxide vulcanization systems, enhances rubber's mechanical properties (e.g., tear resistance, abrasion resistance) through double bond crosslinking.
Reinforcing Filler: Used in tire sidewalls, seals, etc., to improve fatigue resistance and dynamic performance.
Adhesion Promoter: Enhances bonding strength between rubber and metal/fiber (e.g., tire steel belt layers).

II. Applications in Adhesives and Coatings:
Reactive Monomer: Used in UV-curable adhesives to accelerate curing speed and enhance heat resistance.
Hardening Agent: Added to coatings to improve surface hardness and scratch resistance.

III. Applications in Dental Materials:
Composite Resin Filler: Used in dental restorative materials to improve mechanical strength and biocompatibility.
Zinc ions' mild antibacterial properties may help prevent secondary caries.

IV. Applications in Composite Materials:
Interfacial Modifier: Used in glass fiber/carbon fiber reinforced plastics (e.g., nylon, polyester) to optimize the bonding between matrix and filler.

V. Applications in Other Fields:
3D Printing Materials: As a component of photosensitive resins, enhances the mechanical properties of printed parts.
Medical Polymers: Used for modifying implantable devices to improve material stability.
