Acrylic Acid (AA)

CAS#: 79-10-7
Synonyms: 2-Propenoic acid, Propenoic acid
Acronyms: AA

Acrylic Acid (AA) is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, acrid odor. It is a highly reactive monomer widely used in the production of acrylate esters, acrylic resins, and polymers. AA imparts adhesion, hardness, and chemical resistance to polymer systems, making it a key building block for a broad range of industrial and commercial applications.

Key Features:

• Highly reactive monomer for polymerization and copolymerization

• Provides excellent adhesion, hardness, and chemical resistance

• Versatile in waterborne, solventborne, and UV-curable systems

• Compatible with a wide range of monomers for tailored polymer properties

• Essential for manufacturing superabsorbent polymers, coatings, and adhesives

Applications:

• Acrylic resins and polymers

• Adhesives and sealants

• Coatings and paints (industrial, architectural, and decorative)

• Textiles and fiber finishes

• Superabsorbent polymer production
