Definition
ChEBI: 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate is an enoate ester that is the 1-methacryloyl derivative of propane-1,2-diol. It has a role as a polymerisation monomer. It is functionally related to a propane-1,2-diol and a methacrylic acid.
General Description
Crystals or white crystalline solid.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
POLY(2-HYDROXYPROPYL METHACRYLATE) will react as an ester. The reactivity of the ester group depends a great deal on the degree of polymerization. More highly polymerized material is also more inert to reaction. Read about ester reactive group in program literature.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for POLY(2-HYDROXYPROPYL METHACRYLATE) are not available; however, POLY(2-HYDROXYPROPYL METHACRYLATE) is probably combustible.
