Acrylates are family of polymers, which are a type of vinyl polymer. Acrylates are of course made from acrylates monomers, and it's about time we explained what those are. Acrylates monomers are esters which contain vinyl groups, that is, two carbons atom double-bounded to each other, directly attached to the carbonyl carbon.
ACRYLIC ACID Acrylic is an organic compound with the formula CH2CHCO2H. It is a simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid, consisting of a vinyl group connected directly to a carboxylic acid terminus. This colorness liquid has a characteristic acrid or tart smell. It is miscible with water, alcohols, ethers, and chloroform. More than one billion kilograms are produced annually. |
BUTYL ACRYLATE Butyl Acrylate forms homopolymers and copolymers. Copolymers of butyl acrylate can be prepared with acrylic acid and its salt, amides and esters and with methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleics acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated, polyesters, and dryling oils, etc. |
ETHYL ACRYLATE Ethyl Acrylate is an organic compound primarily used in the preparation of various polymers. It is a clear liquid with an acrid penetrating odor. The human nose is capable of detecting this odor at a thousand times lower concertration than is considered harmful if continuously exposed for some period of time, used in the production of polymers including resins, plastics, rubber, |
DIETHYL HEXYL ACRYLATE 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate is a water liquid with a characteristic odor. It is supplied inhibited to prevent polymerization. It is a stable product, with only negligible solubility in water. It is readily polymerized and displays a range of properties dependent upon the selection of the monomer and reaction conditions. |
METHYL METHACRYLATE Methyl Methacrylate is an organic compound with the formula CH2=(CH3) COOCH3. This colourless liquid, the methyl ester of methacrylic acid (MAA) is a monomer produced on a large scale for the production of polymethyl methacrylate (PMAA). |
