Esschem MMA - AMA Bead Copolymers are a versatile range of copolymers combining methyl methacrylate (MMA) with allyl methacrylate (AMA). These copolymers showcase the unique characteristics of AMA as a crosslinker in polymers. With varying MMA and AMA concentrations, Esschem offers a wide range of copolymer beads with different properties. Higher MMA content in the copolymer results in elevated glass transition temperatures, melting points, and tensile strengths, making them ideal for applications requiring high strength and rigidity. On the other hand, increasing the AMA content lowers these properties while enhancing crosslinking and hardness. By adjusting the molecular weight, Esschem can further customize the copolymer's rigidity and crosslinking behavior. The particle size of the beads can also be modified to optimize processing and surface properties, including adhesion characteristics.

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.
