Acrylic acid by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This compound is the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid, consisting of a vinyl group linked directly to a carboxylic acid end. It is available as a colourless, clear liquid with a characteristic tart odour, which is miscible in water, alcohol, ether and chloroform. Acrylic acid can be produced from propylene, which is a by-product of ethylene and gasoline production. It reacts with alcohol, to form the corresponding ester. CAS Number: 79-10-7 Quantity provided: 500 ml per bottle Chemical formula: C3H4O2 Molecular weight: 72.06 Assay: Minimum 99 %Acrylic acid has a wide range of applications in biological and chemical industries. Acrylic acid as well as its esters can readily combine with themselves to form polyacrylic acid. They may also react with monomers such as acrylamides, acrylonitrile, vinyl compounds, styrene, and butadiene by reacting at their double bond, to yield homopolymers or copolymers. These resulting products have applications in the manufacture of various plastics, coatings, adhesives, elastomers, as well as floor polishes and paints. Frequently found alkyl esters of acrylic acid include methyl, butyl, ethyl, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate. This reagent is ideal for the synthesis of various compound in industrial processes, and is furthermore widely used in research applications.
