Icosyl acrylate (C20A)
Icosyl acrylate (C20A) is an acrylate ester used in the production of polymers and copolymers with specific characteristics such as flexibility, hydrophobicity, and thermal stability. Due to its hydrophobic nature and long chain length, it is utilized in adhesives and sealants for improved water resistance. In cosmetics, it might be used in formulations requiring film-forming properties with a smooth, non-sticky feel.
