IOTA 20572: A Novel Silicone-Modified Acrylate Monomer for Marine Coatings

Hits: 2354 img

Innovative Material Characteristics

IOTA 20572 is a silicone-modified acrylate monomer with unique molecular structure, chemically named methyldi(trimethylsiloxy)acryloyloxysilane. The product appears as a colorless, odorless transparent liquid with viscosity below 5cst at 25℃, enabling excellent fluidity during processing. Chromatographic purity analysis confirms 99% purity at 25℃, ensuring material reliability.

The product formulation includes 50ppm p-hydroxyanisole as inhibitor, effectively extending storage stability. Flash point exceeding 60℃ and boiling point over 140℃ provide enhanced safety during transportation and storage.

Polymerization Process Adaptability

The material demonstrates remarkable adaptability in polymerization processes. Solution polymerization utilizes its low viscosity for efficient heat dissipation, suitable for producing high molecular weight polymers. Emulsion polymerization forms stable nano-sized latex particles, ideal for waterborne coating systems. Both processes enable precise control over polymer molecular weight and crosslinking density through monomer ratio adjustment.

Breakthroughs in Marine Coatings

In marine coatings, the material achieves multiple technical breakthroughs. The acrylate polymers derived from IOTA 20572 feature a dual-layer protective structure: siloxane groups form a dense hydrophobic barrier externally, while acrylate backbones provide excellent adhesion and flexibility internally. This structure maintains 96-hour no-blistering and 168-hour no-rusting performance in simulated marine environments (3% salt spray, 35℃).

Field tests on vessels operating in the South China Sea demonstrate sustained coating integrity (80μm thickness) after 18 months of navigation, outperforming conventional antifouling coatings significantly.

Handling & Storage Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance, maintain reaction system pH between 6.5-7.5 and avoid contact with strong acids/bases. Processing temperature should not exceed 120℃ to prevent thermal runaway. Store in cool, dry conditions away from ignition sources and oxidizing agents.
