Acryloyl chloride is used in the production of plastics. It plays an important role in the preparation of acrylate monomers and polymers. It also acts as a substrate for cross-metathesis. Further, it is utilized in organic synthesis for the introduction of acrylic groups into other compounds.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
