Description:
Thiiran-2-ylmethyl methacrylate is produced by the reaction of acrylic acid and thiirane in the presence of a catalyst. This particular acrylic acid derivative has an ester group, allowing it to react with a variety of other compounds and materials. The reaction results in a polymer with a unique range of properties, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
Uses:
TMM is used in the production of coatings, paints, inks, varnishes and other products in which it acts as a cross-linking agent. It is also used as a curing agent in printing inks and coatings, and in the synthesis of polyurethanes. In addition, it is used as a monomer in the production of acrylic copolymers and polystyrenes.
TMM is also used in the manufacture of water-soluble polymers, biocompatible polymers, and functional polymers. It is also used in the production of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents and in bioconjugation.
