Esschem MMA - HPMA Bead Copolymers

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.
