Butyl Acrylate

Synonym

Acrylic acid n-butyl ester
2-Propenoic acid, butyl ester

note

Butyl acrylate is used in the composition of copolymers with various industrial applications.
– Resins and dispersions for paints, varnishes and inks, adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives
Emulsion polymers or dispersions for non-woven fabrics, textiles, paper, leather
– Cleaning and floor polishing products
– Plastics and synthetic resins, synthetic rubbers and latexes

Butyl acrylate can give additional reaction to the double bond and polymerize and copolymerize.
Some copolymer reactivity ratios r1, r2 of butyl acrylate (M1) with various monomers (M2) were calculated from the Alfred & Price equation. Styrene: r1 = 0.07 r2 = 0.45
Methyl methacrylate: r1 = 0.34 r2 = 1.92 Vinyl acetate: r1 = 4.95 r2 = 0.04
