Grade Selection and Formulation Guidance
LA and LMA have the same lauryl side-chain designation but different polymerizable groups: LA is an acrylate and LMA is a methacrylate. When screening LA with multifunctional monomers, evaluate the balance between dilution, conversion and final network properties.
Specification and Quality Documents
Please request the current TDS, SDS and available lot COA. Quotation and sample approval should establish the applicable assay or active-content method, viscosity and test temperature, color, acid value, moisture, and inhibitor type and level. Numerical release limits are confirmed for the offered grade.
Request a Sample or Quotation
Specify LA, CAS 2156-97-0, and the intended resin chemistry. Include the required assay, inhibitor system and color limits, especially when replacing a mixed-chain alkyl acrylate grade.
Include the quantity, destination and packaging preference. Commercial packaging, minimum order quantity and lead time are confirmed with the quotation. Follow the current SDS and container instructions for handling and storage.
