Chemical Properties
Clear liquid. Acetoacetoxyethyl Methacrylate [21282- 97-3], AAEM, has a pendant acetoacetoxyethyl group which can modify the physical properties of acrylic polymers by decreasing solution viscosity and lowering the glass transition temperature. In addition, the acetoacetyl group contains an active methylene group and a carbonyl group, which can be used to modify or cross-link the polymer [107].
Uses
LONZAMON(R) AAEMA is a special methacrylic ester monomer with a reactive methylene group. It is suitable as comonomer for adhesives and coatings as well as copolymer for emulsion polymerisation.
Uses
2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl acetoacetate is a methylene active compound that may be used in the synthesis of 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl 6-methyl-2-oxo-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4- tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate. It may be used as a polymerizable chelating agent for metal alkoxides to form polymerizable oxide precursors.
