Potassium 3-sulphonatopropyl acrylate (SPA)(CAS: 31098-20-1)

Potassium 3-(acryloyloxy)-1-propanesulfonate (CAS: 31098-20-1) is a water-soluble, organic compound commonly used in surfactant applications. It features a potassium cation linked to a sulfonate group and an acryloyloxy substituent on a propane backbone.

Potassium 3-(acryloyloxy)-1-propanesulfonate is primarily used as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics. It is also utilized in research for surfactant studies and as a monomer in polymer synthesis.

Potassium 3-(acryloyloxy)-1-propanesulfonate is generally considered safe for use in industrial and consumer products. However, it is important to follow safety guidelines, such as avoiding contact with skin and eyes, and using proper ventilation during handling.

Potassium 3-(acryloyloxy)-1-propanesulfonate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container and protected from moisture. Avoid storing it in temperatures above 30°C (86°F) to prevent degradation.
