4. Other Special Applications
Cosmetic polymers, pesticide intermediates, pharmaceutical intermediates, fiber dye (azo dye) carriers
Acts as a functional raw material or reactant
Chemical reactivity of acetoacetoxy group (e.g., binding to proteins)
💡 Usage and Storage Instructions
AAEM has some characteristics that require attention during storage and use:
Ease of polymerization: This monomer is prone to polymerization during storage, so polymerization inhibitors (such as BHT) are usually added to the product.
Safe storage: It is recommended to store in a cool place in a sealed container. It is slightly irritating to the skin and eyes.

This product is used in low VOC solvent based coating resins to reduce viscosity. Improves the elasticity and toughness of coatings, reduces the glass transition temperature Excellent elasticity and corrosion resistance. Reacts with commonly used cross-linkers such as dense amines (melamine) and isocyanates. Room temperature film formation without isocyanate cross-linking. The enamine structure can react with aldehydes and hydrazides through the Michael reaction. Chelating metal ions by chelating action improves adhesion to metal layers. Excellent adhesion ability under humid environment Acetoacetate esterified polymers pesticide intermediates high solid acrylic resin solution for light curing reactive monomers crosslinker polymers cosmetic polymers pharmaceutical intermediates self-crosslinking acrylic emulsions can be a substitute for N-hydroxymethacrylamide, bis(acetone)acrylamide, HEMA, etc., the reaction is better controlled, the product performance is better.

Some industry trends and achievements are obvious! By the resin film-forming agent and other raw material price inflation and property market turnover of the shock of the fall, the coatings industry has begun to swing up again, not in the calm. Rising raw materials or will lead directly to the price of paint products, thus causing a major reshuffle in the paint industry. Specific things towards, remains to be seen!
At present, there have been a number of coatings raw materials enterprises formally announced that they will increase product prices, and the wide range of coatings raw materials prices, whether it will prompt the paint companies to increase product prices to maintain the pressure of rising costs, or an uncertainty, however, with the changes in the upstream and downstream markets of the coatings, the paint industry or will usher in another market change. Just in these two days TDI wildly rose 6000 yuan! This is a data that makes people in the industry scared to pee!!!! It is reported that the global de-capacification led to TDI, MDI supply and demand imbalance, the future trend will only remain high.
In Japan, Mitsui announced the permanent closure of Kashima 120,000 tonnes TDI device, France Vencorex shut down its 126,000 tonnes TDI device, Mitsui Omuta, Basf South Korea Yeosu, as well as China’s Yantai Juli device focused on maintenance, and Covestro U.S. Baytown device force majeure parking, the major chemical giants have to declare force majeure on the European MDI and TDI! With these chemical giants have ‘parking’, and the chemical industry has a close connection with the coatings industry to ask how to be spared. This heralds the paint industry ‘winter’ is now just coming.
This year, due to real estate, automotive and other important market adjustments, the coating industry is facing downward economic growth and rising costs of the double pressure, labour, environmental protection, safety requirements are getting higher and higher, and intensify the coating market’s brutal competition, the survival of the fittest, the trend of industry mergers and reorganisations are gradually clearing up. In such a complex economic environment, but also accelerated China’s coatings industry is in the structural adjustment and transformation and upgrading of the arrival of the critical period: domestic demand will continue to expand, technological innovation will become the main theme of the industry’s development, cleaner production, energy saving and environmental protection, recycling economy, high functionality and other processes or products will become the industry’s development of new growth points.
However, the ‘winter’ is not the end of the road, because hope is around the corner. The so-called ‘winter’ is just a policy adjustment under the transformation of a season of adjustment and integration. Such a season contains unlimited hope. We can cross the ‘winter’ to see the hope: no matter how the current industry is affected by the rising pressure of raw materials, architectural coatings, marine coatings and other areas of the situation how bad, China’s coatings industry is still a high-growth industry containing a lot of business opportunities and hope.
Experts believe that, even if it is cold, the industry will still see the emergence of high-growth enterprises, or the emergence of new enterprises and new business models. So how do these companies actually know their own winter, and develop an effective winter plan for their own sustained growth? In the face of the current industry downturn, the mainstream coatings companies have been in the practice of upgrading products, energy saving, environmental protection is becoming an industry trend, industrial upgrading is also accelerating, which will help China’s coatings industry a solid foundation and enhance competitiveness.
With the improvement of the consumption level and the change of consumer concept, consumer demand for paint is gradually from the original single function, a single product to the diversification of function change, can let consumers feel the charm of science and technology, access to colour and emotional experience and in line with the green trend of paint products will be more popular in the market.
All said and done, or to paint enterprises have awareness, to ensure product quality at the same time, continuous innovation, improve the overall competitiveness of the enterprise itself, and only then in order to preserve their own at the same time, but also walk in the front of the industry. Without further ado, paint companies hurry up and take action!
