iso-Tridecyl Methacrylate (C13MA)

iso-Tridecyl Methacrylate (C13MA) is an ester of methacrylic acid and is used as a raw material component in the synthesis of polymers. iso-Tridecyl Methacrylate (C13MA) is a hydrophobic monofunctional monomer with a low glass transition temperature (Tg) and hence is excellent as a flexible and plasticizing monomer. iso-Tridecyl Methacrylate (C13MA) forms homopolymers and copolymers. iso-Tridecyl Methacrylate (C13MA) can be prepared with (meth)acrylic acid and its salts, amides, and esters, and with (meth)acrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and drying oils, etc.

iso-Tridecyl Methacrylate (C13MA) is a very useful starting material for chemical synthesis since it easily undergoes addition reactions with a wide spectrum of organic and inorganic compounds.

In order to prevent polymerization iso-Tridecyl Methacrylate (C13MA) must always be stored under air, and never under inert gases. The presence of oxygen is required for the stabilizer to function effectively. It has to contain a stabilizer and the storage temperature must not exceed 35 °C. Under these conditions, the storage stability of one year can be expected upon delivery. In order to minimize the likelihood of overstorage, the storage procedure should strictly follow the “first-in-first-out” principle. The preferred construction material for tanks and pipes is stainless steel. Carbon steel is also acceptable, although the formation of rust may be a problem with product quality (color). Iron(III)-ions have been shown to be a weak polymerization initiator. If carbon steel is to be used, special procedures should be used to prepare the tank for use. Storage tanks, pumps, and pipes should be earthed.
