Uses of 2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate:

Contains reactive amino groups and vinyl groups and can be used as adhesives and coating modifiers. Due to the ionic bond, it can be used as a cross-linking agent and dye and pigment coloring agent. It can also be used to synthesize antistatic agents, lubricant additives, leather treatment agents, combustion aids, emulsifiers, cationic precipitation agents, etc. Organic synthesis intermediates.

Dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, abbreviated as DM, is a highly water-soluble liquid monomer with good adhesion. It is used as a brightener in automotive and architectural coatings, latex paints, and cleaning in lubricating oils. It can be used with dispersants, water treatment additives, retention and drainage aids for papermaking, acrylic floor paints, and can also be used as styling hair sprays and demulsifiers in water-based emulsions after copolymerization with vinyl pyrrolidine.

Dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate has reactive amino groups and polymerizable vinyl groups, which can increase adhesion and thermosetting properties. Due to the effect of ionic bonds, it can improve crosslinking properties and the coloring properties of dyes and pigments. It can be used to prepare thermosetting coatings. , Antistatic agents, dyeing aids, lubricant additives, adhesives, leather processing agents, combustion aids, etc.
