Butyl Acrylate (BA)

CAS#: 141-32-2
Synonyms: n-Butyl acrylate, Butyl 2-propenoate
Acronyms: BA

Butyl Acrylate (BA) is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild fruity odor. It is a highly versatile acrylate monomer that imparts flexibility, toughness, and chemical resistance to polymer systems. BA is widely used in paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, plastics, and textiles, offering excellent film-forming properties and durability.

Key Features:

• Provides flexibility and low-temperature performance in polymers

• Enhances impact resistance, adhesion, and elongation

• Compatible with a wide range of monomers for copolymerization

• Contributes to film formation, gloss, and durability

• Suitable for both waterborne and solventborne systems

Applications:

• Industrial, architectural, and decorative coatings

• Pressure-sensitive and structural adhesives

• Sealants and elastomeric formulations

• Plastics, fibers, and textile finishes

• Copolymers for emulsion and solution polymerization
