Hexadecyl acrylate

Description:
Hexadecyl acrylate is an organic compound classified as an acrylate ester, characterized by its long hydrophobic alkyl chain and a reactive acrylate functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is known for its low volatility and relatively high viscosity compared to shorter-chain acrylates. Hexadecyl acrylate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic tail. The compound is primarily used in the production of polymers and copolymers, contributing to the properties of coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Its long-chain structure imparts flexibility and hydrophobicity to the resulting materials, enhancing their performance in various applications. Additionally, hexadecyl acrylate can undergo polymerization through free radical mechanisms, making it valuable in the synthesis of specialty polymers with tailored properties. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause skin and eye irritation.
