Ethyl Acrylate (EA)

CAS#: 140-88-5
Synonyms: Ethyl propenoate, Acryl ethyl ester
Acronyms: EA

Ethyl Acrylate (EA) is a clear, flammable liquid with a sharp, pungent odor. It is a reactive acrylate monomer commonly used in the synthesis of polymers and copolymers, imparting flexibility, adhesion, and chemical resistance. EA is widely applied in adhesives, coatings, textiles, and paper finishes.

Key Features:

• Provides flexibility and toughness in polymer systems

• Enhances adhesion and chemical resistance

• Suitable for copolymerization with a variety of monomers

• Contributes to film formation and durability

• Compatible with solventborne and waterborne formulations

Applications:

• Industrial, architectural, and specialty coatings

• Adhesives and sealants

• Textile and paper finishes

• Emulsion and solution polymerization systems

• Copolymer resins for specialty plastics
