Apollo Scientific Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate (EGDMA) 95% is a bifunctional methacrylate ester commonly used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, coatings, adhesives, and advanced materials research. With two reactive methacrylate groups, EGDMA creates highly crosslinked polymer networks, improving material hardness, rigidity, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength.
This 95% grade provides a cost-effective option for applications where ultra-high purity is not required but consistent crosslinking performance is essential. The reagent must be stored under refrigerated conditions to enhance stability and minimise spontaneous polymerisation.
Key Features & Benefits
Effective Crosslinking Agent
- Dual methacrylate functional groups allow efficient network formation.
- Ideal for producing rigid polymers, thermosetting materials, resins, and advanced composites.
Reliable Purity (95%)
- Suitable for general polymer synthesis and industrial R&D workflows.
- Provides consistent reactivity for coatings, plastics, nanocomposites, and adhesive systems.
Versatile in Research & Development
EGDMA 95% is widely used in:
- Acrylic & methacrylate copolymer synthesis
- Nanostructured polymer materials
- UV-curable coatings & inks
- Adhesives & sealants
- Crosslinked hydrogels
- Polymer composites & resin modification
- Functional monoliths and chromatographic supports
Refrigerated Storage for Stability
- Recommended storage: 2–8 °C (Refrigerator)
- Helps prevent unwanted self-polymerisation over time.
