CAS 5459-38-1: Glycerol triacrylate

Description: Glycerol triacrylate (CAS 5459-38-1) is a tri-functional acrylate ester derived from glycerol and acrylic acid. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is viscous and has a characteristic acrylate odor. This compound is known for its ability to polymerize under UV light or heat, making it useful in various applications, particularly in the production of coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Glycerol triacrylate serves as a cross-linking agent, enhancing the mechanical properties and durability of polymer networks. It is soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol but has limited solubility in water. Due to its reactive nature, it can undergo free radical polymerization, which is a key feature in many industrial processes. Safety considerations include potential skin and eye irritation, and appropriate handling measures should be taken to minimize exposure. Overall, glycerol triacrylate is valued for its versatility in creating high-performance materials in the fields of coatings, inks, and dental applications.
