General description

Lauryl methacrylate is a monomer that belongs to the class of methacrylate esters, is extensively employed in the manufacturing of diverse polymer materials. Polymers derived from lauryl methacrylate can be employed in personal care products, where they contribute to the formulation′s rheology, stability, and film-forming properties.

Application

Lauryl methacrylate can be used as a monomer:
  • To prepare polymeric co-stabilizer by free-radical copolymerization.
  • To fabricate fluorine-less superhydrophobic cotton fabrics via graft polymerization process.[1]
  • In the synthesis of prepolymers that are used in oil absorbents.
It can also be used to prepare organic polymeric monolithic columns for capillary electrochromatography. Lauryl methacrylate along with dibutyl itaconate used to synthesize copolymers via emulsion polymerization. The copolymers formed from these monomers are specifically targeted for the development of sustainable pressure-sensitive adhesives. It is also used in the fabrication of asymmetrically superhydrophobic cotton fabrics via the mist polymerization process. As a result, the incorporation of lauryl methacrylate through mist polymerization enables the creation of asymmetrically superhydrophobic cotton fabrics, which find potential applications in self-cleaning textiles, water-resistant coatings, and other related fields.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
