General description

Acrylonitrile is commonly used as a monomer which belongs to the class of unsaturated nitriles. It serves as a key monomer in the production of various polymers and copolymers with desirable properties. Acrylonitrile is commonly employed in the production of acrylic fibers, which are known for their softness, strength, and excellent thermal and chemical resistance. One of the primary applications of acrylonitrile is in the manufacturing of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymers. ABS is a versatile and highly durable plastic widely used in automotive components, appliances, electronic enclosures, and consumer goods. The addition of acrylonitrile to the copolymer enhances its heat resistance and impact strength, making ABS a highly sought-after material.

Application

Acrylonitrile can be used as a monomer:
  • In the preparation of the 3D-printed polymer material, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) which is a commonly used engineering thermoplastic known for its high strength, durability, and heat resistance. It serves as a suitable substrate for a wide range of applications, including in the medical field, compatible manufacturing processes, injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion.
  • In the copolymerization with lignosulfonate to develop a carbon fiber precursor. This copolymer can serve as a precursor material that undergoes further thermal treatment to produce carbon fibers.
  • To synthesize acrylamide grafted acrylonitrile copolymer membranes, which serve as a support matrix for the immobilization of cellulase enzymes.
Acrylonitrile is used in the manufacture of acrylic fibers, resins (acrylonitrile butadiene-styrene, styrene-acrylonitrile and others) and nitrile rubbers (butadiene-acrylonitrile).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
