Tert.-Butyl Acrylate (t-BA)

CAS#: 1663-39-4
Synonyms: t-Butyl acrylate

Tert.-Butyl Acrylate (t-BA) is a clear, specialty acrylate monomer known for its high hydrophobicity, chemical resistance, and low polarity. It is widely used in adhesives, coatings, and advanced resin systems to impart durability, water repellency, and enhanced chemical stability.

Key Features:

• Provides hydrophobicity and water repellency

• Enhances chemical and solvent resistance in polymers

• Improves adhesion, flexibility, and toughness

• Compatible with other acrylate and methacrylate monomers for copolymerization

• Suitable for solventborne, emulsion, and UV-curable systems

Applications:

• High-performance adhesives and sealants

• Industrial, architectural, and specialty coatings

• Advanced acrylic resins and copolymers

• Protective films and barrier coatings

• Specialty elastomers and polymer modifiers
