What are the functions and uses of acrylamide?

Acrylamide (or acylamide) is an organic compound that is a white, odorless solid that is readily soluble in water and several organic solvents. It is colorless and odorless crystal. It's highly toxic. Soluble in water, ethanol, acetone, ether and trichloroethane, slightly soluble in toluene, insoluble in benzene. Stable at room temperature, but suddenly polymerize when melted. Melting point 84~86 ℃. Boiling point 87 ℃ (0.26kPa), 125 ℃ (3.3kPa). Relative density of 1. 122. Refractive index 1.460 (calculated value). Is the most important product of acrylamide and methacrylamide products, is the raw material for the production of polyacrylamide.

Six functions and uses of acrylamide

1. Used in the manufacture of water-soluble polymers-polyacrylamide, can be used as tunnels, oil wells, mines and dams and other engineering water plugging sand chemical grouting agent; mineral processing, coal washing, water treatment and drilling mud flocculation agent and underwater, underground buildings such as preservatives

2. Used as soil improver, fiber modifier, binder, photosensitive resin crosslinking agent and paper strengthening agent, etc.

3. Used as a crosslinking agent for vinyl polymers and to increase the adhesion of lipophilic polymers, increase the softening point of the resin and solvent resistance.

4. For the determination of relative molecular mass of acid

5. Used as monomer of polyacrylamide

6. For the production of polyacrylamide gel for electrophoresis determination of protein molecular weight. Flocculants, soil stabilizers, enhance paper strength, improve fiber quality, binders.
