Stearyl Acrylate (TCI A1011, CAS 4813-57-4) is a chemical compound widely used in laboratory settings as a building block for organic synthesis. It is a versatile reagent that plays a key role in polymer chemistry and other synthetic processes. Its molecular structure consists of a long hydrocarbon chain connected to an acrylate group, which gives it high reactivity and functional versatility. This makes it an essential component in the development of new materials and chemical compounds.
The compound is stabilized with MEHQ (methyl ether hydroquinone), which significantly enhances its shelf life by preventing oxidation and degradation. This stabilization ensures that the material maintains its chemical integrity and reactivity over time, making it a reliable choice for laboratory use. Its non-flammable and non-toxic nature under normal conditions also contributes to its safety profile, aligning with standard laboratory safety protocols.
In Indonesian laboratories, Stearyl Acrylate is extensively used in chemical research, particularly in polymer synthesis, organic compound modification, and the development of new chemical materials. Its reactivity and stability make it a preferred choice for both academic and industrial applications. It is commonly found in research facilities and educational institutions, supporting a wide range of chemical investigations and experiments.
