Butyl Acrylate ( Butyl prop-2-enoate) is a clear colourless liquid with a sharp characteristic odour that is used in making paints, coatings, caulks, sealants, adhesives… Soluble in ethanol,ethyl ether,acetone; slightly soluble in carbon tetrachloride PROPERTIES Acrylic polymers have good water resistance, low temperature flexibility and excellent weathering and sunlight resistance Hazardous polymerization may occur. Polymerization may be caused by elevated temperature, oxidizers, peroxides, or sunlight. Uninhibited monomer vapour may form polymer in vents and other confined spaces Clear, colourless liquid with a strong, fruity odour When heated to decomposition it emits acrid and irritating fumes Chemical Formula: C7H12O2 Potential Products : Water soluble Paints and Coatings, Adhesives and sealant chemicals

Other Uses Butyl acrylate is a clear, flammable liquid with a fruity, pungent odor. Effect of monomer feed rate on the properties of the copolymer butyl acrylate/vinyl acetate in semi-batch emulsion polymerization 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 synthesis, because it readily undergoes addition reactions with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds.
