Colacryl®

A range of grades for different applications. Made in the UK, we can supply grades to be used for automotive, adhesives, coatings and dental.

Colacryl Solid Grades

Colacryl® Grade Form Mw Glass Tansition Temp. Acid # Specific Gravity Comments
TS1329 Spherical Beads 54,000 60°C 3.8 1.13 This is a co-polymer of methyl methacrylate and n-butyl methacrylate used in coatings (including concrete), inks and adhesives. The benefits include low viscosity and fast dissolving time. Recommended applications include heat seal lacquers, metal coatings and flexographic inks.


Colacryl Liquid Grades

Colacryl® Grade Form Viscosity Solid Content Solvent
TS1875 Clear Viscous Liquid 15-75 poise 51 ± 2% Acetone
  • This is a self-cross-linking acrylic copolymer designed for high performance solvent resistant adhesive applications. Once dried, a film cast from this product remains permanently tacky.
  • Suggested uses: Pressure-sensitive self-adhesive products including high shear double-sided tapes and films which require a high degree of solvent resistance. The adhesive has good solvent resistance and can be used with plastic substrates in automotive applications. A typical cure schedule for this product would be 140 °C/ 3 minutes. Full adhesive properties would be reached in about 48 hours.
Colacryl® Grade Form Viscosity Solid Content Molecular Weight (Mw)
TS2109 Clear Viscous Liquid 1,500 mPa.s 40 ± 1% 150,000

Colacryl® TS2109 is a solution polymerized butyl methacrylate copolymer in butyl acetate solvent, used for a variety of coatings and adhesives applications. The carboxyl content of this resin gives good adhesion to many surfaces.

  • Typical Uses: Typical uses include the manufacture of coatings with high UV stability and Conformal Coatings.
  • Benefits: Convenient form of supply means less processing time
Colacryl® Grade Form Viscosity Solid Content (% by weight) Molecular Weight (Mw) Tg Acid Number
TS2125 Clear Viscous Liquid 3,000 mPa.s 40% 150,000 23°C 1.1 mg KOH/g

Colacryl® TS2125 is a solution polymerised butyl methacrylate copolymer in toluene solvent, used for a variety of coatings and adhesives applications. The carboxyl content of this resin gives good adhesion to many surfaces.


Dental grades

Colacryl denture base polymers have been designed to offer excellent handling properties and working time without compromising strength and durability. With precisely controlled particle size, our PMMA-based acrylic resins offer superior impact resistance, low residual monomer, outstanding aesthetics and no porosity.
