Acrylic Acid
Acrylic acid is the simplest α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid. It is a colorless, transparent liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, with a pungent acidic odor and highly corrosive nature. Acrylic acid is a key petrochemical raw material and an important intermediate in organic synthesis.
Our Advantages
- Strong hydrophilic properties.
- Excellent polymerization and copolymerization capabilities.
- Flexible molecular design. By chemically modifying carboxyl or double bonds, a series of derivatives are generated.
Scope Of Application
Acrylic acid is primarily used as a raw material for:
Acrylate esters
Superabsorbent resins (largest downstream application)
Other applications include:
Water treatment chemicals
Detergent builders
Coatings and paints
Adhesives and sealants
Textile and leather processing
Oil recovery
Plastic modification
Papermaking chemicals
