What is Butyl acrylate

**Introduction to Butyl Acrylate** Butyl acrylate is a versatile acrylic ester monomer with the chemical formula C₇H₁₂O₂. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic fruity odor, widely used in the production of polymers and copolymers. As a key raw material in the coatings, adhesives, textiles, and plastics industries, butyl acrylate enhances flexibility, durability, and weather resistance in finished products. Its excellent adhesive properties make it ideal for pressure-sensitive adhesives, while its copolymerization with other monomers improves emulsion stability in paints and coatings. With low toxicity and high reactivity, butyl acrylate is a crucial component in water-based formulations, supporting eco-friendly industrial applications. Proper handling is essential due to its flammability and potential skin irritation.

Preparation Process: Butyl acrylate is prepared via esterification of acrylic acid with n-butanol in the presence of an acid catalyst, typically sulfuric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid. The reaction is carried out under reflux conditions (100–120°C) with continuous removal of water (azeotropically or using a dehydrating agent) to drive the equilibrium toward ester formation. Inhibitors like hydroquinone or phenothiazine are added to prevent polymerization. The crude product is then neutralized, washed with water to remove residual acid and alcohol, and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain pure butyl acrylate (boiling point ~145–148°C). The process requires strict temperature control and inert atmosphere to avoid side reactions.

Usage Scenarios: Butyl acrylate is a versatile monomer primarily used in the production of acrylic polymers and copolymers. It serves as a key ingredient in paints, coatings, adhesives, and sealants, providing flexibility, durability, and weather resistance. In the textile industry, it enhances fabric finishes for improved softness and wrinkle resistance. It is also employed in paper coatings to increase strength and water resistance. Additionally, butyl acrylate is used in emulsion polymerization for producing latex products and impact modifiers for plastics. Its adhesive properties make it valuable in pressure-sensitive tapes and labels. The compound’s low viscosity and reactivity facilitate easy processing in industrial applications.
