Lauryl Methacrylate 1214 F (LMA 1214 F)

Lauryl Methacrylate 1214 F (LMA 1214 F) by BASF is a water insoluble, low volatile, monofunctional methacrylate monomer with long, linear hydrophobic side chains. It is a mixture and blend of natural C12, C14 and C16 alcohol methacrylates. It imparts hydrophobicity, low shrinkage, flexibility, water resistance, weatherability, adhesion and improved impact strength to polymers. It forms homopolymers and copolymers which can be prepared with acrylic acid (& its salts), amides, esters, methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and drying oils. Lauryl Methacrylate 1214 F (LMA 1214 F) readily undergoes addition reactions with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds, hence it is also a very useful feedstock for chemical syntheses. Used in adhesives, low temperature caulks and sealants.
