n-Butyl Acrylate 141-32-2

Description and uses: Butyl acrylate is used in the production of homopolymers and co-polymers for use in water-based industrial and architectural paints, enamels, adhesives, caulks and sealants, and textile finishes. 

The reactivity of the molecule's double bond also yields applications as a chemical intermediate of the molecule's double bond also yields applications as a chemical intermediate.

Description

Sensitization to n-butyl acrylate can occur in those in the dental profession.

Chemical Properties

Butyl acrylate is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor. It is readily miscible with most organic solvents. Butyl acrylate contains one of the following three inhibitors to prevent polymerization under recommended storage conditions:

Hydroquinone (HQ) CAS 123-31-95

Monomethyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ) CAS 150-76-5

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) CAS 128-37-0

Uses

Intermediate in organic synthesis, polymers and copolymers for solvent coatings, adhesives, paints, binders, emulsifiers.

Uses

Butyl acrylate is primarily used as a reactive building block to produce coatings and inks,adhesives, sealants, textiles, plastics and elastomers. Butyl acrylate is used in the following applications:

Adhesives – for use in construction and pressure-sensitive adhesives

Chemical intermediates – for a variety of chemical products

Coatings – for textiles and adhesives, and for surface and water-based coatings, and coatings used for paints, leather finishing and paper

Leather – to produce different finishes, particularly nubuck and suede

Plastics – for the manufacture of a variety of plastics

Textiles – in the manufacture of both woven and non-woven textiles

Uses

n-Butyl acrylate is used to make polymersthat are used as resins for textile and leatherfinishes, and in paints.

Production Methods

n-Butyl acrylate can be manufactured via a reaction of acetylene, n-butyl alcohol, carbon monoxide, nickel carbonyl, and hydrochloric acid. It is commonly manufactured via an oxidation of propylene to acrolein and then to acrylic acid. The acid is reacted with n-butanol to yield the butyl ester .

Definition

ChEBI: An acrylate ester obtained by the formal condensation of the hydroxy group of butan-1-ol with the carboxy group of acrylic acid.

General Description

A clear colorless liquid with a sharp characteristic odor. Very slightly soluble in water and somewhat less dense than water. Hence forms surface slick on water. Flash point 105°F. Density 7.5 lb / gal. Used for making paints, coatings, caulks, sealants, adhesives.

Air & Water Reactions

Flammable. Very slightly soluble in water.

Butyl acrylate is primarily used as a reactive building block to produce coatings and inks,adhesives, sealants, textiles, plastics and elastomers. 

Butyl acrylate is used in the following applications:

Adhesives – for use in construction and pressure-sensitive adhesives

Chemical intermediates – for a variety of chemical products

Coatings – for textiles and adhesives, and for surface and water-based coatings, and coatings used for paints, leather finishing and paper

Leather – to produce different finishes, particularly nubuck and suede

Plastics – for the manufacture of a variety of plastics

Textiles – in the manufacture of both woven and non-woven textiles

Use: Butyl acrylate is a clear colorless liquid with a characteristic fruity odor. 

It is readily miscible with most organic solvents. 

It is readily polymerized and displays a wide range of properties dependent upon the selection of the monomer and reaction conditions.

n-Butyl acrylate is used to prepare homopolymers and copolymers with other monomers such as

acrylic acid and its salts, amides and esters; methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl

acetate, vinyl chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and drying oils. These polymers

and copolymers are used in a variety of products as dispersions or solutions (ECETOC, 1994).

n-Butyl acrylate is used in the production of coatings and inks, adhesives, sealants, textiles, plastics

and elastomers. Coating applications include: architectural latex coatings, water-based dispersions,

and automotive original equipment manufacture, and refinish materials. Pressure sensitive

adhesives contain n-butyl acrylate. Other adhesive applications are found in the textile and

construction industries. Textile industry products that contain n-butyl acrylate are fibers, warp

sizings, thickener, and back coat formulations (adhesives). In the plastics industry, n-butyl acrylate

is found in some PVC modifiers and molding or extrusion additives (BAMM, 1993). In 1999, nbutyl acrylate was the largest volume commodity acrylate ester in Europe (SRI, 2001)
