Description
1-Methylcyclohexyl methacrylate (CAS No. 76392-14-8) is a high-purity specialty monomer with the molecular formula C11H18O2. This compound, also known by its IUPAC name (1-methylcyclohexyl) 2-methylprop-2-enoate, is a versatile methacrylate ester featuring a cyclohexyl backbone with a methyl substituent, offering unique steric and reactivity properties. It is particularly valued in polymer chemistry for its ability to impart tailored mechanical and thermal characteristics to acrylic resins. The product is supplied as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic ester odor, and is stabilized to prevent premature polymerization. Suitable for research and industrial applications, it is rigorously tested for purity (typically ≥97% by GC) and is packaged under inert gas to ensure stability. Store in a cool, dry place away from light and oxidizing agents.

Application
1-Methylcyclohexyl methacrylate is widely used as a monomer in the synthesis of specialty acrylic polymers, where it enhances rigidity and heat resistance. It is employed in coatings, adhesives, and photoresists due to its ability to modify glass transition temperatures (Tg) and improve solvent resistance. Researchers also utilize it in dental materials and optical applications for its low shrinkage and compatibility with other methacrylates.
