Esschem MMA - HPMA Bead Copolymers are a versatile range of copolymers combining methyl methacrylate (MMA) with hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA). These bead copolymers offer exceptional performance and customizable properties for various applications. With increased MMA content, these copolymers exhibit elevated glass transition temperatures, melting points, and tensile strengths, providing enhanced strength and durability. Conversely, higher HPMA content improves adhesion and reduces glass transition temperatures, melting points, and tensile strengths, offering flexibility and tailored characteristics. Esschem further enhances the molecular weight of these copolymers, resulting in more rigid and durable materials. By manipulating the particle size, solubility, dispersion properties, and transparency can be optimized, making them ideal for applications that demand transparency, strength, and toughness.

Esschem MMA - EMA Bead Copolymers are a range of bead copolymers combining methyl methacrylate (MMA) with ethyl methacrylate (EMA).

This results in lower glass transition temperatures, melting points, and tensile strengths, providing desired flexibility and transparency. Esschem provides control over the molecular weight to further enhance these properties, allowing for a more rigid and robust copolymer or targeting flexibility and transparency as needed. Particle size control enables fine-tuning of processability and adjustment of surface properties, leading to better performance in applications that prioritize transparency.

Esschem EMA - EGDMA Bead Copolymers are a versatile combination of ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). With a higher proportion of EMA, these copolymers exhibit enhanced flexibility due to the less bulky ethyl group present in EMA. Conversely, increasing the EGDMA content results in a more crosslinked structure, leading to greater rigidity. The glass transition temperature remains relatively stable regardless of the percentage of each constituent. By precisely controlling the molecular weight, Esschem can optimize the level of crosslinking, resulting in superior mechanical properties such as hardness and tensile strength. Additionally, the particle size can be tailored to influence surface area and reactivity, allowing for further adjustment of the physical properties.
