| Applications | Specialty acrylate/methacrylate polymer manufacturing — the reactive chloroethyl group allows further functionalization after polymerization (e.g., quaternization, nucleophilic substitution) |
This compound is a methacrylate ester bearing a reactive chloroethyl group. That extra chlorine handle survives radical polymerization intact, giving the resulting polymer backbone a site for post-polymerization functionalization — useful for building specialty polymers with tailored downstream chemistry.
This monomer is used in specialty polymer manufacturing where a post-polymerization-functionalizable acrylate is needed, and as a reactive crosslinking component in coatings and adhesive formulations.
