CAS 2998-18-7: sec-Butyl methacrylate

Description: Sec-butyl methacrylate is an organic compound classified as an ester, specifically derived from methacrylic acid and sec-butanol. It is characterized by its clear, colorless liquid form and has a distinctive fruity odor. The compound is known for its relatively low viscosity and good solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, particularly in the production of polymers and coatings. Sec-butyl methacrylate exhibits moderate reactivity, participating in free radical polymerization, which allows it to form copolymers with other methacrylate and acrylate monomers. This property is advantageous in the formulation of adhesives, sealants, and paints, where enhanced durability and flexibility are desired. Additionally, it has a moderate boiling point and flash point, necessitating appropriate safety measures during handling and storage. As with many methacrylate esters, it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, emphasizing the importance of using personal protective equipment when working with this substance.
