NMA 48

NMA 48 by PT. Dover Chemical is an aqueous solution of n-methylol acrylamide, a bifunctional monomer containing both vinyl and hydroxymethyl groups. This dual functionality allows polymers to be synthesized through various methods, including emulsion, solution, or suspension polymerization techniques.

• The hydroxymethyl groups are self-cross-linkable under moderate conditions and can be reacted separately by adjusting the reaction parameters.
• For instance, the hydroxymethyl group can first react with a substrate like cellulose and subsequently undergo cross-linking via free radical polymerization.
• NMA 48 is used in a wide range of applications, including binders in papermaking and paper coatings, antistatic agents in textiles, non-woven textile finishes, surface coating resins for varnishes and paints.
• It has a shelf life of 10 months.
