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.
