Product Summary
Triallyl Isocyanurate (TAIC) is a highly efficient and versatile trifunctional crosslinking agent crucial for enhancing the performance of a wide array of polymer materials. Featuring three reactive allyl groups, TAIC readily participates in free-radical polymerization reactions, forming a robust, dense, three-dimensional network within the polymer matrix.
The incorporation of TAIC significantly upgrades the mechanical strength, heat distortion temperature, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation properties of base polymers. It is an indispensable additive for applications demanding superior durability and performance in electronics, automotive, aerospace, and energy sectors.
Primary Applications
Polymers, Biomaterials & Advanced Formulation:
Peroxide Crosslinking: Functions as a highly effective co-agent with organic peroxides to dramatically increase the crosslinking density and efficiency of elastomers (e.g., EPDM, FKM, Silicone rubber) and engineering plastics, leading to improved heat resistance and compression set.
Radiation Curing (E-beam/UV): An active monomer for electron beam (E-beam) and UV radiation curing, providing rapid crosslinking for coatings, inks, and films, resulting in hard, scratch-resistant, and chemically stable surfaces.
Thermoplastic Modification: Used to crosslink various thermoplastics, imparting thermoset-like properties such as enhanced high-temperature performance, creep resistance, and solvent resistance.
Materials Chemistry & Functional Surfaces:
High-Performance Composites: A key component in resin formulations for advanced composites (e.g., fiberglass, carbon fiber) requiring superior thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties.
Adhesives & Sealants: Improves the cure speed, bond strength, and thermal stability of specialized adhesive and sealant formulations.
Cable & Wire Insulation: Contributes to the production of heat-resistant, flame-retardant, and electrically insulating materials for high-performance cables and electronic components.
