Product Detail
Description
DMPA is a multifunctional molecule containing both hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. After neutralization with an alkali, its free carboxylic acid group helps improve the water solubility or water dispersibility of resins.
The introduction of polar functional groups can improve coating adhesion, enhance the dyeability of synthetic fibers and increase the alkali solubility of coating resins. DMPA is suitable for use in waterborne polymer and coating systems.
DMPA is an odorless, free-flowing, white crystalline solid.
