Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate (EGDMA) from China

Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) is a difunctional crosslinking monomer for improved mechanical properties in resins. Though di-functional, it classifies as 'other' methacrylic ester under HTS 2916.14.20 since Chapter 29 prioritizes monocarboxylic acid ester heading. Used in dental composites and 3D printing resins.

Import Tips

Functionality testing (double bond equivalence) confirms difunctional nature

Refractive index (1.45-1.46) purity check

Avoid copper/iron contamination; accelerates polymerization
