Lauryl acrylate (LA) 1214

Lauryl acrylate (LA) 1214 by BASF is acrylate monomer. Readily undergoes addition reactions with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds and forms homopolymers and copolymers. Copolymers can be prepared with acrylic acid and its salts, amides and esters, and with methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and drying oils. Lauryl acrylate (LA) 1214 offers chemical stability, hydrophobicity, abrasion resistance, flexibility, impact strength, low shrinkage and weatherability. It is a low viscosity, low toxicity monomer with a long pendant aliphatic chain and the high reactivity of acrylates and suitable as rheology modifier.
