Evonik’s VISIOMER® MAPTAC and VISIOMER® TMAEMC are advanced quaternized aminomethacrylates that serve as key cationic monomers in the formulation of friction reducers. These monomers offer high charge density, allowing enhanced drag reduction performance, particularly in high-salinity environments.
VISIOMER® MAPTAC is a methacrylamide monomer known for its excellent water solubility and superior hydrolytic stability compared to methacrylic esters. This makes it highly robust under thermal and chemical stress—ideal for brine-tolerant formulations.
These monomers enable the design of tailored polymer architectures for cationic friction reducers, supporting researchers and developers in polymer chemistry to create application-specific solutions for the oil and gas industry.
