Methacrylamide (CAS 79-39-0), also known as 2-Methylacrylamide, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C₄H₇NO. This versatile chemical is widely recognized for its role in industrial applications and polymer synthesis. As a trusted supplier, we offer high-purity imported Methacrylamide that meets stringent quality standards.

 Product Characteristics

Our Methacrylamide appears as white crystals (technical grade may exhibit a slight yellowish tint) and boasts a high level of purity. It has a molecular weight of 85.1 g/mol and a density of 1.115 g/cm³. The compound melts at approximately 108°C and boils at 215°C.

Methacrylamide is highly soluble in water (202 g/L at 20°C), and also dissolves well in ethanol, dichloromethane, acetone, and ethyl acetate. It is slightly soluble in ether and chloroform, but insoluble in petroleum ether and carbon tetrachloride.

 Chemical Properties and Reactivity

Methacrylamide is an unsaturated carboxylic acid amide featuring both a double bond and an amide group. This structure provides two active centers, making it a chemically versatile compound. It can undergo double bond addition, polymerization, alkylation, and a series of other reactions.

The compound is stable under normal temperatures but requires storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct light. It is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, reducing agents, and acids. At high temperatures, Methacrylamide can polymerize, potentially releasing substantial heat and leading to container rupture or even explosion.

 Applications and Uses

Methacrylamide serves as a key intermediate in the production of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA). Its applications extend to:

   Organic Synthesis: As a building block for various organic compounds.

   Polymer and Copolymer Synthesis: Acting as a monomer for producing high-performance polymers and copolymers.

   Textile Industry: Functioning as a weighting agent for silk after degumming and before dyeing and finishing.

   Specialty Chemicals: Used in fiber leveling agents, humectants, adhesives, and antistatic agents.

 Handling, Storage, and Safety

Methacrylamide is a toxic substance and should be handled with care. It can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. Ingestion is harmful, and its vapors may pose risks to the central nervous system if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.

Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves and safety glasses is recommended during handling. It should be stored sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, protected from light, moisture, and heat sources.
