Acrylamide CAS#1979-6-1
Acrylamide is an important organic monomer widely used in synthetic chemistry. It combines high chemical reactivity with unique physical characteristics. At room temperature, it appears as a white crystalline powder. Pure acrylamide is odorless, whereas industrial-grade products may exhibit a slight yellowish tint or a faint pungent odor due to trace impurities. The crystals are hygroscopic and readily absorb moisture from the air, gradually softening or even dissolving upon moisture uptake.
