Product Background |
Zinc dimethacrylate, with the molecular formula typically represented as C₈H₁₀O₄Zn and a molecular weight of approximately 235.5, is a crucial functional monomer and additive widely utilized in the fields of polymers and rubber materials. It belongs to the family of zinc carboxylate derivatives, sharing structural similarities with related compounds such as zinc acrylate (CAS NO. 14643-87-9) but with distinct methyl-substituted groups that endow it with unique chemical and application properties.
In industrial development, zinc dimethacrylate emerged as a specialized additive to address the growing demand for high-performance rubber and polymer products. As industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics increasingly required materials with enhanced thermal stability, mechanical strength, and resistance to harsh environments (e.g., acids, alkalis, and oils), zinc dimethacrylate gained attention for its ability to form ionic cross-linking bonds with polymer matrices. This characteristic fills the gap in traditional additive technologies that struggled to balance multiple performance metrics simultaneously.
Commercially, zinc dimethacrylate is typically produced through the reaction of methacrylic acid with zinc oxide or other zinc salts, following strict quality control standards to ensure consistency in key indicators (e.g., purity, particle size, and moisture content). Its production process aligns with the global trend toward sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing, making it compatible with the development needs of green materials industries. |

Product Features |
Excellent Thermal Stability: It maintains stable chemical properties under high-temperature conditions, resisting decomposition or performance degradation even in environments with temperatures up to a certain range (consistent with the heat-resistant characteristics of related zinc carboxylate additives), which is essential for products requiring long-term use under thermal stress.
Strong Chemical Resistance: It exhibits outstanding resistance to acids, alkalis, and oils. When integrated into polymer or rubber matrices, it forms a protective cross-linking structure that prevents corrosive substances from penetrating the material, thereby extending the service life of the end product.
Effective Cross-Linking Capability: It can form ionic cross-linking bonds with rubber or polymer molecules. This bond structure is stronger and more stable than traditional covalent cross-links in some scenarios, significantly improving the structural integrity of the material.
Good Compatibility: It demonstrates high compatibility with various common rubber types (such as NBR, SBR, BR, EPDM, and EPM) and polymer materials. This ensures uniform dispersion during the mixing process, avoiding issues like agglomeration that could affect product performance.
Controllable Physical Properties: When used as an additive, it allows for precise adjustment of the mechanical properties of the end product (e.g., hardness, elasticity, and tear resistance) by varying its dosage, meeting the customized needs of different application scenarios. |

Product Applications |
Rubber Industry: As a vulcanization aid and heat-resistant additive, it is widely used in the production of various rubber products. For example, in automotive rubber parts (such as seals, hoses, and gaskets), it enhances the heat resistance and oil resistance of the parts, ensuring stable performance under the high-temperature and oil-exposed conditions of automotive engines. It is also used in industrial rubber products (like conveyor belts and rubber rollers) to improve their tear resistance and compression set, extending their service life.
Polymer Composite Materials: It serves as a cross-linking agent in the manufacturing of artificial marble and other polymer composite materials. It promotes the formation of a dense cross-linking network in the composite matrix, improving the material's hardness, scratch resistance, and stain resistance, while also enhancing its thermal stability to prevent deformation under high temperatures.
Coatings and Adhesives Industry: In some special coatings (such as high-temperature-resistant industrial coatings) and adhesives, it acts as a functional additive to improve the coating's adhesion, chemical resistance, and thermal stability, as well as the adhesive's bonding strength and durability in harsh environments.
Electronics and Electrical Industry: It is used in the production of rubber or polymer insulation materials for electronic components. Its excellent electrical insulation properties (derived from the stable structure of zinc carboxylate derivatives) and heat resistance ensure the safe and stable operation of electronic devices under high-temperature and humid conditions. |
