Synthesis of Acrylic and Methacrylic Monomers
We can deliver monomer products of the quality customers need by appropriately combining technologies for suppressing side reactions and polymerization, with column purification techniques for removing impurities such as isomers, unreacted materials, and sulfur compounds. We also accept requests for purification processes only (adsorption treatment, concentration). Please feel free to contact us.
Basic Process for Acrylic and Methacrylic Monomers
Synthesis Process
We have a proven track record in synthesizing many compounds other than those listed below. The appropriate esterification method (acrylic acid, acid chloride, or acid anhydride) can be selected based on the reactivity of the substrate.
Column Purification Process
During purification, we apply controlled processes to suppress side reactions and polymerization. We also have a proven track record in reducing and controlling sulfur content.
e.g. Sulfur content: approx.︓≒150ppm → ≦10ppm
Case Study
*HPLC measurement data
Concentration Process
The formation of polymers is suppressed by appropriately controlling conditions such as temperature and polymerization inhibitors. This enables us to obtain the target compound in high yield and high purity.
Example of Production
We accept requests for multi-step synthesis that includes not only acrylation and methacrylation processes but also synthesis of intermediates. Since quality can be controlled from upstream processes, a stable supply of high-quality monomers is possible.
