Product Description
Acrylic acid (IUPAC: propenoic acid) is an organic compound with the formula CH2=CHCOOH. It is the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid, consisting of a vinyl group connected directly to a carboxylic acid terminus. This colorless liquid has a characteristic acrid or tart smell. It is miscible with water, alcohols, ethers, and chloroform. More than a million tons are produced annually.[6]Superior Grade for Advanced SynthesisAcrylic Acid 99% is graded for high-purity synthesis applications, making it an essential laboratory reagent for advanced organic chemistry. Its clarity and reliable quality ensure reproducible results for researchers and industrial professionals alike. The material's high miscibility facilitates seamless integration into a variety of chemical reactions and processes.
Safe Handling and StorageDue to its corrosive and flammable nature, acrylic acid requires careful handling. Always store it in a tightly sealed glass bottle in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. Following recommended storage conditions significantly enhances shelf life and maintains chemical stability for up to 36 months.
Versatility Across Multiple ApplicationsAcrylic Acid 99% is widely used for synthesis, research, and chemical analysis. Its unique properties, including a refractive index of 1.4220 at 20C and viscosity of 1.3 mPas at 20C, make it particularly valuable in organic synthesis and laboratory experimentation. Its clarity and purity support demanding procedural standards.
FAQ's of ACRYLIC ACID 99% (For Synthesis) (500 ML):
