Methacrylamide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to very slightly yellow crystals

Uses

A monomer for acrylic resins.

Uses

Methacrylamide is a reagent used in the production of polymers and copolymers. It is also used as a raw material in the production of chemicals for industrial and professional use such as textiles, leather, fur, bulk, large scale chemicals (including petroleum products), fine chemicals, formulation [mixing] of preparations and/or re-packaging (excluding alloys), building and construction work, electricity, steam, gas, water supply and sewage treatment.

Definition

ChEBI: Methacrylamide is a member of acrylamides and a primary carboxamide.

Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Human systemic effects by inhalation: degenerative brain changes and liver and hdney changes. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the amide from *benzene or ethyl acetate and dry it under vacuum at room temperature. [Beilstein 2 IV 1538.]
