Description

Ethyl Acrylate is a fundamental monomer in the production of acrylic polymers and copolymers. Its primary value lies in its ability to form durable, flexible, and weather-resistant materials, making it indispensable for high-performance coatings and adhesives. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the paints & coatings, textiles, plastics, and adhesive industries seeking to enhance product flexibility and longevity.

Application

• Acrylic Resin Production: A key raw material for manufacturing acrylic and methacrylic resins used in paints, lacquers, and varnishes.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Imparts flexibility and strong bonding properties to pressure-sensitive adhesives, construction sealants, and industrial bonding agents.
• Textile & Leather Finishing: Used in polymer emulsions for fabric coatings, leather finishes, and non-woven binders to improve durability and water resistance.
• Plastic Additives & Impact Modifiers: Serves as a co-monomer to modify the impact strength and processing characteristics of various plastics.
• Paper Coating: Enhances the gloss, strength, and printability of paper products in coating formulations.
• Specialty Acrylic Esters: Acts as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty acrylate monomers and fine chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Ethyl Acrylate is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and assay, to ensure it meets exacting industry specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and key physical parameters are available for every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and ignition points. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) and keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases.
