Diacetone acrylamide

Diacetone acrylamide (CAS 2873-97-4 ), commercially known as DAAM, is a functional acrylamide monomer used to introduce reactive ketone groups into polymer backbones. These pendant ketone groups enable post-polymerization crosslinking through reaction with dihydrazide compounds, giving formulators precise control over cure timing and network density. In waterborne coatings and adhesives, DAAM is copolymerized into acrylic emulsions to enable ambient-temperature crosslinking without external catalysts, improving film hardness and solvent resistance. Textile and paper treatment formulations use DAAM-based polymers to deliver durable surface finishes that withstand repeated washing or mechanical stress during industrial processing. Printing and packaging applications benefit from DAAM's ability to enhance ink adhesion and coating cohesion on difficult substrates, ensuring high-quality finishes for commercial use. Personal care formulators incorporate DAAM copolymers into film-forming systems where controlled crosslink density affects hold strength and flexibility in various cosmetic applications. Diacetone acrylamide is supplied as a white crystalline solid. Standard commercial grades include technical and high-purity specifications, with purity levels typically at 98% or above. Quality is confirmed by GC or HPLC analysis. Packaging ranges from small drums to bulk quantities, and temperature-controlled storage is standard practice to maintain monomer stability.
