Triethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate CAS#109-16-0

Low-Viscosity Handling Performance: This low-viscosity monomer features good fluidity at room temperature, which effectively lowers the overall viscosity of formulation systems and improves processing operability. 

High Cross-Linking Efficiency: Its two terminal reactive double-bonds enable fast free-radical polymerization, forming stable three-dimensional cross-linked networks to enhance the structural strength of cured products. 

Excellent Compatibility: It has good miscibility with most acrylic monomers, resins and common organic solvents, bringing stable and uniform mixing performance for different UV-cured formulas. 

Balanced Cured-Material Properties: It can noticeably increase surface hardness and wear resistance of polymers, and is widely suitable for UV coatings, adhesives and dental composite resin systems.

Product Description of Triethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate CAS#109-16-0

Triethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate, also known as TEGDMA, is a difunctional methacrylate monomer. It appears as colorless to pale-yellow oily liquid with a mild ester-like smell. Its molecular weight is 286.32, and it contains two reactive carbon-carbon double bonds for free-radical polymerization.

This low-viscosity substance dissolves well in most organic solvents and shows limited solubility in water. It is commonly stabilized with polymerization inhibitor for long-term storage. As a reliable cross-linking raw-material, it improves the surface hardness and wear-resistance of cured polymers and fits well for UV-cured supplies and dental composite resins.

Product Application of Triethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate CAS#109-16-0

Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate acts as a vital dual-functional cross-linking monomer within polymer-related industries. It is frequently added into ultraviolet-curable coatings, printing inks and adhesive formulations to raise cross-link density, enhancing finished goods’ surface hardness and abrasion-resistant capacity.

Besides surface-treatment materials, the monomer serves as essential filler matrix raw-material for dental composite restoratives. It can also be adopted for producing optical materials, polymer hydrogels and resin-based grinding accessories. In addition, it works as a chemical modifier to optimize the shrinkage-proof performance of different kinds of synthetic resin systems.
