Acrylic acid, 97%, stab. with ca 200ppm 4-methoxyphenol, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Acrylic acid acts as a precursor in the production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid. It is used in the preparation of water-absorbent resins. It reacts with alcohols to prepare the corresponding esters. Its esters are used as raw materials for synthetic resins, rubbers, coating adhesives, water-based paints, floor polishes and adhesives. It is also used to prepare forming homopolymers or copolymers by reacting with other monomers like acrylamides, acrylonitrile, vinyl, styrene, and butadiene.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
