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.

Lipex SMP™ is a highly versatile, oxidative-stable, solid emollient with a sharp melting profile and excellent crystallinity. It combines a silky-smooth richness with a soft-dry skin feel to offer unique textures transformations in face, hand and body care formulations.

Esschem MMA - EMA Bead Copolymers are a range of bead copolymers combining methyl methacrylate (MMA) with ethyl methacrylate (EMA). These copolymers exhibit high glass transition temperatures, melting points, and tensile strengths, making them ideal for industries that demand strength and rigidity. By increasing the EMA content, the copolymers offer greater flexibility and the potential for enhanced optical properties. 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.
