Acrylic Acid

Description

What is Acrylic Acid?

Acrylic Acid is a colorless, flammable liquid organic compound with a characteristic acrid odor. With the chemical formula C₃H₄O₂, it is the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid and serves as a vital building block in the production of various industrial and consumer products. It is primarily used to produce acrylic esters, superabsorbent polymers, and coatings.

Due to its reactive carboxylic and vinyl groups, acrylic acid undergoes polymerization and esterification, making it an essential monomer in the manufacturing of adhesives, paints, textiles, and hygiene products.

Key Applications of Acrylic Acid

Acrylic Acid is highly versatile and finds extensive usage across a wide array of industries:

• Superabsorbent Polymers (SAP) for hygiene products like diapers and adult incontinence products
• Adhesives and Sealants for automotive, construction, and packaging applications
• Textile Finishing Agents to enhance performance of fabrics
• Paints and Coatings for weather-resistant and durable surfaces
• Dispersants and Thickeners in personal care and detergents
• Water Treatment Chemicals and scale inhibitors
• Paper and Leather Processing industries
