Butyl acrylate is of low acute toxicity with an LD 50 (rat) of 3143 mg/kg. [ 4 ] In rodent models, butyl acrylate is metabolized by carboxylesterase or reactions with glutathione ; this detoxification produces acrylic acid , butanol , and mercapturic acid waste, which are excreted.
Acrylate and methacrylate homo- and copolymers are made by radical polymerization in toluene-acetone for coating applications. Polyethylene (HDPE, LLDPE) - some grades are made by coordination polymerization in high boiling hydrocarbone solvents (above PE solution temperature). The advantage of this process is very high propagation rate ...
Poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) is a family of organic polymers with the formula (CH 2 CHCO 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3) n. It is a synthetic acrylate polymer derived from butyl acrylate monomer. The polymers are colorless. This homopolymer is far less important than copolymers derived from methyl acrylate and other monomers.
Acrylic resin is a common ingredient in latex paint (UK: "emulsion paint"). Latex paints with a greater proportion of acrylic resin offer better stain protection, greater water resistance, better adhesion, greater resistance to cracking and blistering, and resistance to alkali cleaners compared to those with vinyl.

Acrylic elastomer is a general term for a type of synthetic rubber whose primary component is acrylic acid alkyl ester (ethyl or butyl ester). [3] Acrylic elastomer possesses characteristics of heat and oil resistance, with the ability to withstand temperatures of 170–180 °C. It is used primarily for producing oil seals and packaging related ...
Polymerization can be performed in large range of solvents (including water), within a wide temperature range, high functional group tolerance and absent of metals for polymerization. As of 2014, the range of commercially available RAFT agents covers close to all the monomer classes that can undergo radical polymerization.
In polymer chemistry, polymerisation inhibitors (US: polymerization inhibitors) are chemical compounds added to monomers to prevent their self-polymerisation. Unsaturated monomers such as acrylates , vinyl chloride , butadiene and styrene require inhibitors for both processing and safe transport and storage.
The efficiency of polymerization increases more and more with increased steric bulk of the nitroxide up to a point. TEMPO ((2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl) is capable of inducing the polymerization of styrene and styrene derivatives fairly easily, but is not sufficiently labile to induce polymerization of butyl acrylate under most ...
