Butylacrylate (BA)
DESCRIPTION
Butyl acrylate (BA) is the ester of acrylic acid and n-butanol and is used as a raw material component in the synthesis of polymers. Butyl Acrylate (BA) is a monofunctional monomer consisting of an acrylate group with a characteristic high reactivity and a cyclic hydrophobic group
PRODUCT GROUP
- Acrylates & Methacrylates
SYNONYMS
acrylic acid butyl ester,butyl acrylate,
butyl-(2,3-14C)-acrylate,n-butyl acrylate
MAJOR APPLICATIONS
Butyl acrylate forms homopolymers and copolymers. Copolymers of butyl
acrylate can be prepared with acrylic acid and its salts, amides and esters,
and with methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl
chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and
drying oils, etc. Butyl acrylate is also a very useful feedstock for chemical
syntheses, because it readily undergoes addition reactions with a wide
variety of organic and inorganic compounds.
