Esschem EMA - EHMA Bead Copolymers

Esschem EMA - EHMA Bead Copolymers are a unique combination of ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate (EHMA) that offers exceptional properties.The incorporation of 2-EHMA disrupts the polymer chain packing, resulting in lower glass transition temperatures and enhanced low-temperature flexibility, while significantly improving transparency.With variations in molecular weight, Esschem can further enhance the strength and flexibility of these bead copolymers. The smaller particle size of the beads improves processability and has the potential to enhance transparency, while larger particles contribute to a more rigid material.
