CAS 2495-27-4

Hexadecyl methacrylate

Description:

Hexadecyl methacrylate, with the CAS number 2495-27-4, is an organic compound belonging to the family of methacrylate esters. It is characterized by a long hydrophobic hexadecyl (C16) alkyl chain, which imparts significant lipophilicity, making it soluble in organic solvents while being insoluble in water. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a relatively low volatility. Hexadecyl methacrylate is known for its ability to polymerize, forming polymers that exhibit good thermal stability and mechanical properties. It is often used in the formulation of coatings, adhesives, and various polymeric materials due to its ability to enhance hydrophobicity and improve surface properties. Additionally, its long alkyl chain contributes to the overall flexibility and durability of the resulting polymers. Safety data indicates that, like many methacrylate compounds, it should be handled with care, as it can be an irritant to skin and eyes and may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
