Description
ACRYLAMIDE is an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H5NO. It is a white, odorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water, ethanol, and acetone. ACRYLAMIDE is used primarily in the production of polyacrylamide, which is a widely used polymer with applications in wastewater treatment, papermaking, and other industries. ACRYLAMIDE is also used in the synthesis of other organic compounds and as a laboratory reagent. However, it is important to note that ACRYLAMIDE is classified as a probable human carcinogen, and exposure to high levels of ACRYLAMIDE should be avoided.
