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.
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.

Structure of a polyacrylate polymer. An acrylate polymer (also known as acrylic or polyacrylate) is any of a group of polymers prepared from acrylate monomers. These plastics are noted for their transparency, resistance to breakage, and elasticity. Acrylate polymer is commonly used in cosmetics, such as nail polish, as an adhesive. [1]
Structure of the backbone of a cyanoacrylate polymer. In the same way that several variants of acrylic esters are known, so too are the corresponding polymers. Their properties strongly depends on the substituent. A large family of acrylate-like polymers are derived from methyl methacrylate and many related esters, especially polymethyl ...
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.
The medical applications of butyl cyanoacrylate include its use as an adhesive for lacerations of the skin, [5] and in the treatment of bleeding from vascular structures. Butyl cyanoacrylate has been used to treat arteriovenous malformations [6] by application of the glue into the abnormality through angiography.
Polymer nomenclature usually applies to idealized representations meaning minor structural irregularities are ignored. A polymer can be named in one of two ways. Source-based nomenclature can be used when the monomer can be identified. Alternatively, more explicit structure-based nomenclature can be used when the polymer structure is proven.
The chemistry of pressure-sensitive adhesives describes the chemical science associated with pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA). PSA tapes and labels have become an important part of everyday life. These rely on adhesive material affixed to a backing such as paper or plastic film. [1]
