BASF Behenyl Acrylate 1822 (BEA 1822)

BASF Behenyl Acrylate 1822 F (BEA 1822 F) by BASF is a monofunctional monomer with the characteristic high reactivity of acrylates and a very hydrophobic long chain pendant group. It forms homopolymers and copolymers. Copolymers of behenyl acrylate can be prepared with acrylic acid and its salts, amides and esters, and with methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and drying oils, etc. It readily undergoes addition reactions with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds. Exhibits flexibility, chemical/hydropholytic resistance, impact strength, low shrinkage, weatherability and hydrophobicity.
