Description

4-Acryloylmorpholine (CAS NO 5117-12-4) is a versatile and highly reactive acrylamide derivative that serves as a critical building block in advanced polymer synthesis. Its bifunctional nature, featuring both a polymerizable acryloyl group and a morpholine ring, enables the creation of materials with tailored properties such as enhanced hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and chemical resistance. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, specialty polymer, and adhesive industries seeking to develop innovative, high-performance products.

Application

• Photopolymer & UV-Curable Resins: A key monomer for formulating advanced coatings, inks, and 3D printing resins that cure rapidly under UV light.
• Hydrogel Synthesis: Used to create hydrophilic, cross-linked networks for contact lenses, wound dressings, and drug delivery systems.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Imparts strong adhesion and flexibility in industrial and medical-grade adhesive formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Surface Modifiers & Functional Polymers: Incorporated into polymers to modify surface properties, improving wettability, printability, or biocompatibility.
• Water Treatment Polymers: A component in the synthesis of flocculants and other functional polymers used in water purification processes.
