Product Overview

Acrylamide 98% For Synthesis (CAS No. 79-06-1) is an unsaturated primary amide in which a polymerisable carbon–carbon double bond is conjugated with an amide group. This combination gives acrylamide the reactivity of a vinyl monomer together with the polar character associated with the amide functionality. It is therefore an important building block in polymer chemistry and in the preparation of acrylamide-based materials with tailored structural and functional properties.

The Synthesis grade is intended for preparative chemistry, polymerisation studies, reaction development, and research work in which acrylamide is used as a monomer or synthetic intermediate. Its 98% assay makes it suitable for routine laboratory synthesis and material-development procedures requiring consistent starting-material quality. Acrylamide is commercially classified among polymerisation monomers and is supplied specifically for synthesis applications.

Typical Applications

• Preparation of polyacrylamide and acrylamide-based copolymers
• Free-radical polymerisation and copolymerisation studies
• Synthesis of crosslinked polymer networks and hydrogel materials
• Graft-polymerisation and polymer-modification research
• Preparation of functional polymers for laboratory and materials research
• Investigation of polymerisation kinetics and reaction conditions
• Development of acrylamide-derived intermediates and monomer systems
• Academic, industrial, and research applications in polymer chemistry

Acrylamide is primarily used as a monomer for producing polyacrylamide and acrylamide copolymers, which form the basis of numerous functional polymer systems.

Storage Conditions

Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place. Protect from light, heat, air exposure, incompatible substances, and contamination that may initiate polymerisation. Keep the container securely sealed after dispensing and follow the temperature conditions stated on the approved product label or specification.
