Product Description
Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA), with the CAS number 106-91-2, is a versatile chemical compound known for its unique properties and wide range of applications. Here is an introduction to GMA in English:
Chemical Properties:
- GMA is a colorless liquid with a fruity odor and is slightly miscible with water, soluble in most organic solvents, and has relatively low volatility.
- It comprises a polymerizable methacrylate functional group on one end and a reactive epoxy group on the other, making it a polyfunctional monomer.
- GMA is known to be sensitive to heat and light, and it is often stabilized with about 100ppm of MEHQ (monomethyl ether hydroquinone) to prevent polymerization.
Physical Properties:
- Molecular Weight: 142.15 g/mol
- Density: 1.075 g/mL at 20°C
- Melting Point: -52°C
- Boiling Point: 189°C (literature value)
- Flash Point: 169°F
- Water Solubility: 0.5-1.0 g/100 mL at 20°C
- Vapor Pressure: 4.2 hPa at 25°C
- Refractive Index: n20/D 1.449 (literature value)
Stability and Storage:
- GMA is unstable and sensitive to light, requiring storage at 2-8°C to maintain stability.
Applications:
- GMA is commonly used in the creation of epoxy resins and provides epoxy functionalization to polyolefins and other acrylate resins.
- It is used in the production of polymer coatings, finishes, adhesives, plastics, and elastomers.
- GMA has been reported to be used in the formation of biocompatible hydrogels and in the creation of macroporous sorbents through in situ polymerization.
- It can also be grafted onto polypropylene to enhance properties.
Synthesis:
- GMA is produced from methacrylic acid and glycidol, which contains both epoxide and alcohol functional groups.
