Products Description
Acrylamide (AM) is a crystalline chemical compound primarily used as a raw material in the manufacture of polyacrylamide. In its solid form, it typically appears as colorless, transparent flakes, while the pure substance is a white crystalline solid. Acrylamide is soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, and propanol, but only slightly soluble in ethyl acetate, chloroform, and benzene. Under acidic or alkaline conditions, it can undergo hydrolysis to form acrylic acid.
