Formula: C4H6O2 CAS: 96-33-3 Description: Acrylic ester for manufacturing polymers and for use as a feedstock for syntheses. Applications: Methyl acrylate forms homopolymers and copolymers. Copolymers of methyl acrylate can be prepared with acrylic acid and its salts, amides and esters, and with methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and drying oils, etc. Methyl acrylate is also a very useful feedstock for chemical syntheses, because it readily undergoes addition reactions with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds Information provided by BASF |
