Description
A colorless, acrid smelling liquid primarily used as a monomer for the production as acrylic polymers. Ethyl acrylate self-polymerizes at room temperature and occurs more rapidly with the aid of elevated temperatures, light, or peroxides. Polyethyl acrylate is a transparent, slightly elastic resin that is resistant to most solvents. Ethyl acrylate monomer is used in water emulsion paints and for coatings on textiles, paper, and leather.
Synonyms and Related Terms
2-propenoic acid ethyl ester; acrylic acid ethyl ester; acrilato de etilo (Esp.); 2-propenoato de etilo (Esp.); acrylate d'éthyle (Fr.); etil acrilato (It.); acrilato de etilo (Port.)
