Tetra(ethylene glycol) diacrylate is a long-chain hydrophilic, crosslinking monomer widely used in the preparation of gel polymer electrolytes for Li-ion polymer batteries, acrylic polymers, and coating materials.
An ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Tetra(ethylene glycol) diacrylate is flammable.
reagent type: cross-linking reagent
reaction type: Polymerization Reactions
Moderate skin and severe eye irritant. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
