Overview

Product information

Hydroxypropyl methacrylate is a hydroxyl-functional methacrylate used as a reactive monomer in polymer and resin chemistry. The methacrylate group participates in polymerization, while the hydroxyl group provides a site for additional reactions or crosslinking in formulated systems.

CAS 27813-02-1 requires care when describing composition because commercial HPMA can represent a mixture of hydroxypropyl methacrylate isomers. Website copy should therefore avoid claiming a single-isomer composition unless Hamara’s product specification confirms it.

General guidance

Handling and storage

Supplier information for stabilized hydroxypropyl methacrylate calls for avoiding heat and ignition sources, using suitable eye and skin protection, and storing sealed under the conditions stated in the current SDS. Methacrylate monomers can polymerize if improperly stored or contaminated. The applicable inhibitor and storage requirements must be taken from Hamara's current supplier SDS.
