Benzyl methacrylate Chemical Properties,Uses
Uses in Perfume
Benzyl methacrylate has found some use in perfume compositions where it may introduce very desirable notes in Rose and other floral fragrances, in Chypre, Oriental and heavy woody fragrance types, etc. It blends excellently with Oakmoss, Vetiver, Phenylacetaldehyde dimethylacetal, Citrcnel101,as well as with Lavender, Lavandin, Spike Lavender, etc. The ester is also used in soap and detergent perfumes, where its low cost allows for a more liberal application.
Description
The cyclic methacrylate monomer benzyl methacrylate (BzMA) was evaluated as an alternative to traditional methyl methacrylate (MMA) as a hard monomer in the application of an acrylate latex pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). BzMA is widely used in nanoimprinting lithography, paint applications, inkjet inks, transparent adhesives, orthodontic adhesive compositions, and stationary phases in liquid chromatography.
Chemical Properties
Colorless oily liquid. Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. Soft, warm, herbaceous-rosy odor of moderate tenacity.
Uses
Benzyl methacrylate is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
