| Acrylics, Solvents & Intermediates | ||
| Acrylic Monomers | Acrylic acid serves as an essential building block in the production of many useful and important industrial and consumer products. Acrylic acid is used to produce acrylic esters including methyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, which are then polymerized and used as ingredients in paints, coatings, textiles, adhesives and many other applications. Acrylic acid is also used to produce polyacrylic acid, or crosslinked polyacrylic acid compounds, which are used in the manufacture of detergents and waste water treatment chemicals as well as superabsorbent polymers for diapers and hygiene products. |
