pdf icon Glacial Acrylic Acid Technical Data Sheet (34 KB PDF)
Glacial acrylic acid is used as a raw material for specialty acrylates, such as trimethylolpropane triacylate for ultraviolet curable (UV-cure) resins. It is also used as the monomer for superaborbent polymers (polyacrylate salts) for personal and baby care products. Sodium acrylate (the sodium salt of glacial acrylic acid) is copolymerized with acrylamide to make an anionic copolymer (a-PAA), which is used as a flocculant in water treatment.
pdf icon Methyl Acrylate Technical Data Sheet (35 KB PDF)
Reactive with other monomers and imparting strength and durability to acrylic copolymers, methyl acrylate is a useful monomer for a variety of applications, including coatings for leather, paper, floor coverings and textiles. Resins containing this monomer can also be formulated as elastomers, adhesives, thickeners, amphoteric surfactants, fibers and plastics. Methyl Acrylate is also used in production of monomers used to make water treatment materials and in chemical synthesis.
pdf icon Ethyl Acrylate Technical Data Sheet (29 KB PDF)
Ethyl acrylate is used in the production of homopolymers and co-polymers for use in textiles, adhesives and sealants. The reactivity of the molecule's double bond also yields applications as a chemical intermediate.
pdf icon Butyl Acrylate Technical Data Sheet (29 KB PDF)
Butyl acrylate is used in the production of homopolymers and co-polymers for use in water-based industrial and architectural paints, enamels, adhesives, caulks and sealants, and textile finishes. The reactivity of the molecule's double bond also yields applications as a chemical intermediate.
pdf icon 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate Technical Data Sheet (35 KB PDF)
2-Ethylhexyl acrylate is used in the production of homopolymers, copolymers for caulks, coatings and pressure-sensitive adhesives, paints, leather finishing, and textile and paper coatings. The low volatility and reactivity of the molecule's double-bond makes it an excellent choice as a plasticizing co-monomer in many applications.
