Hydroxypropyl methacrylate, with the chemical formula C6H10O3, is often abbreviated as MPA.It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with the weak acidity of an anhydride synthesizer. Below is a description of the properties, uses, preparation, and safety information for hydroxypropyl methacrylate:

Properties:

1. hydroxypropyl methacrylate is a liquid soluble in water and organic solvents.

2. it has low volatility and viscosity with good flowability.

3. Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate can be copolymerized, cross-linked and condensed with other chemicals by reaction.

Uses:

1. Hydroxypropyl methacrylate is often used as an important monomer in the synthesis of polymer materials. It can be used to prepare hydroxypropyl polyacrylate (HPA) and hydroxypropyl polymethacrylate (MPAH), which are used in paints, adhesives, textile coatings, inks, resins and so on.

2. Hydroxypropyl methacrylate can also be used in the preparation of medical glue, hydrogel, drug release systems and other applications in the pharmaceutical field.

Basic Information

Chemical properties

colorless liquid. The boiling point is 96°C (1.33kPa), 57°C (66.7Pa), the relative density is 1.066 (25/16°C), the refractive index is 1.4470, and the flash point is 96°C. Soluble in general organic solvents, still soluble in water.

Main applicationS

Application1:This product can be copolymerized with other acrylic monomers to produce acrylic resins containing active hydroxyl groups. With melamine formaldehyde resin, diisocyanate, epoxy resin, etc. to prepare two-component coatings. The product is also used as an adhesive for synthetic textiles and as an additive for decontamination lubricating oil.

Application2: It is used as active diluent and crosslinking agent in radiation curing system, and can also be used as resin crosslinking agent, plastic and rubber modifier.

Application3: Acrylic resin, acrylic paint, textile adhesive and decontamination lubricant additive.

Application4: It can be used as a modifier for the production of thermosetting coatings, adhesives, fiber treatment agents and synthetic resin copolymers, and can also be used as one of the main cross-linking functional group monomers used in acrylic resins.

Production method

It is derived from the reaction of methacrylic acid and propylene oxide.
