Cetyl methacrylate (C16MA)
Cetyl methacrylate is used in the formulation of coatings and sealants for various substrates such as metals, plastics, and wood. It can enhance adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors. In adhesive formulations, Cetyl methacrylate can improve bond strength and durability, especially in applications requiring flexibility and impact resistance. Due to its emollient nature and skin-friendly properties, Cetyl methacrylate finds use in cosmetic and personal care products such as creams, lotions, and hair care formulations.
