Highly reactive due to the presence of both a vinyl group and a carboxylic acid group.
Readily polymerizes; requires inhibitors (e.g., MEHQ) for safe storage.
Corrosive to skin and mucous membranes.
Can undergo esterification, addition, and free radical polymerization.
Stabilized with inhibitors (typically MEHQ) to prevent spontaneous polymerization.
Store in tightly sealed containers away from heat, sunlight, and oxidizing agents.
Use personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling: gloves, goggles, mask.
Shelf life may vary depending on inhibitor concentration and storage conditions.
Acrylic Acid is a versatile monomer widely used in the production of polymers and chemical intermediates. Its dual functionality-vinyl group and carboxylic acid group-makes it highly reactive and suitable for a broad range of industrial applications.
Used in the production of baby diapers, adult incontinence products, and feminine hygiene items.
Enables high water absorption and retention.
Example: Sodium polyacrylate production
Acts as a key monomer in acrylic emulsions for interior and exterior coatings.
Provides excellent durability, UV resistance, and weatherability.
Example: Architectural paints, industrial coatings
Used in pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), construction sealants, and tapes.
Offers strong adhesion and flexibility.
Example: Labels, packaging tapes, tile adhesives
Applied as a softening, anti-wrinkle, and waterproofing agent.
Improves fabric feel, durability, and surface treatment.
Example: Coated fabrics, synthetic leather finishing
Acts as a builder or dispersant polymer in household and industrial cleaning products.
Prevents scale formation and stabilizes particulate matter in water.
Example: Laundry detergent additives, dishwashing formulations
Used in the formulation of antiscalants, corrosion inhibitors, and dispersants.
Helps in preventing fouling in cooling towers and boilers.
Enhances dry and wet strength of paper products.
Improves printability and surface smoothness.
Example: Coated paper, high-strength packaging materials
Used in thickening agents, gels, and carbomers.
Offers excellent viscosity control and clarity in gels.
Example: Hair styling gels, lotions, skincare products
Example: Polyacrylic acid-based scale inhibitors
