Tert-butylacrylamide-B


TBAA is a monomer used for the production of many polymers and is an intermediate in organic chemical synthesis. Copolymers of TBAA and acrylic acid are useful for thickening aqueous solutions, mixtures or systems that have high performance requirements under high pH conditions.


Tertiary Butyl Methacrylate


t-BMA acts as a reactive monomer in order to produce other monomers/substances. t-BMA forms homopolymers and copolymers. tert-Butyl Methacrylate (t-BMA) is also a very useful feedstock for chemical syntheses, because it readily undergoes addition reactions with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds.


Trimellitic anhydride


TMA is used in the synthesis of plasticisers and for producing epoxy and alkyd resins as well as a variety of other products including dyes, insecticides, polyester resins and pharmaceuticals. It is also widely used in the formulation of paints and plastics. Trimellitic anhydride is used mainly in the synthesis of trimellitate esters. These esters are used as plasticisers for polyvinyl chloride, especially when temperature stability is required. TMA is less volatile and less water-soluble than corresponding phthalates. This is useful for car interior linings, the wire enamels used to coat magnetic wire, and for other applications where high thermal resistance is required. TMA is often used as a binder for glass fibres, sand, and other aggregates


Trimethylolpropane triacrylate


TMPTA is a trifunctional monomer used in the manufacture of plastics, adhesives, acrylic glue, anaerobic sealants, and ink. It is useful for its low volatility and fast cure response. It has the property of resistance against weather, chemical, water and abrasion.


Tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate


THFA is a low cost, biodegradable solvent/adjuvant with many agricultural and industrial applications. Some important properties of THFA are water-miscibility, low odor, low vapor pressure and evaporation rate, high solvency for active ingredients, low freezing point, high flash point (183ºF/84ºC) and low viscosity even at reduced temperatures.
