IPGA Monomer (CAS 13188-82-4) | High-Performance Acrylate for UV-Curing Applications

Isopropylideneglycerol Acrylate (IPGA): Advanced Monomer for Next-Generation Photopolymers

*CAS 13188-82-4 | Molecular Formula: C₉H₁₄O₄ | MW: 186.20 g/mol*


Technical Profile


IPGA is a key acrylate monomer engineered for UV-curable systems. Its unique molecular structure delivers:

  • Ultra-Low Viscosity: 4.09 mPa·s at 25°C (smoother than water)

  • Enhanced Reactivity: Accelerates curing kinetics by >30% vs. standard acrylates

  • Subzero Flexibility: Tg = -7°C maintains elasticity in cryogenic environments


Core Performance Advantages

1. Photopolymerization Catalyst


When formulated into UV resins, IPGA reduces curing time by ≥30% while achieving nanometer-scale surface smoothness. Ideal for:

  • High-precision 3D printing (0.01mm resolution)

  • Screen printing inks

  • Optical coatings


2. Universal Adhesion Promoter


Blends with polyurethane resins (30% loading) enable 100% adhesion on glass/aluminum substrates. Critical for:

  • Automotive sealants

  • Pressure-sensitive adhesives

  • Aerospace composites


3. Environmental Resistance


Molecular design provides exceptional:

  • UV stability (ASTM G154 certified)

  • Thermal endurance (continuous 110°C service)

  • Radiation shielding (3× improvement in vacuum environments)


Sustainable Production Process


IPGA synthesis exemplifies green chemistry principles:

StepInnovationBenefit
FeedstockBio-based glycerol replaces petrochemicals30% lower carbon footprint
CatalysisAcid-base synergistic system45% energy reduction (80°C/atm pressure)
PurificationMolecular distillation + crystallization99.5% purity (impurities <0.01%)

Industrial Applications


3D Manufacturing

  • Consumer Electronics: Printed smartphone frames/watch housings (CNC alternative)

  • Aerospace: Liquid nitrogen-compatible composites (-196°C toughness retention)


Flexible Electronics

  • Wearables: 500% elongation elastomers for e-skin/smart bands

  • Foldable Displays: 60% crease reduction in OLED encapsulation

  • Space Tech: Radiation-hardened circuit boards (lunar/mission-ready)
