Methoxy PEG Acrylate is a reactive macromonomer featuring an acrylate functionality for polymerization. Its core structure consists of a methoxy-terminated polyethylene glycol chain linked to an acrylate group. Formula: CnH2n+4On+1(CH2=C(CH3)COO); CAS No.: Varies by MW (typically ~9002-93-1 for average). It serves as a critical building block for synthesizing hydrogels and drug delivery carriers via free radical polymerization.
Store in cool, dry conditions away from light to prevent premature polymerization. Use appropriate PPE due to skin irritation risks; avoid inhalation of vapors. Not approved for direct clinical injection without rigorous formulation validation.
