Butyl Acrylate is an acrylate monomer with a molecular formula of CH2=CHCOO(CH2)3CH3. It is a clear and reasonably volatile liquid which is slightly soluble in water and completely soluble in alcohols, ethers and almost all organic solvents. It is a reasonably flammable liquid with a flashpoint around 40° C and has a distinct fruity, pungent odour. It is easily miscible with other organic solvents and is readily polymerized with monomer molecules to create polymer chains.

FAQ

How is Butyl Acrylate stored and distributed?

A chemical stockist would have a bulk petrochemical storage facility to maintain the product. Storage is normally in a cool, dry and well ventilated facility away from oxidising agents. Butyl acrylate should be kept out of direct sunlight, heat and open flames. Solvents such as butyl acrylate should be stored in drummed containers such as isotanks made of stainless steel, aluminium or carbon steel.

A bulk solvent exporter would normally distribute this solvent in bulk vessels or tank trucks. For transportation purposes, the product is classed as a flammable liquid with a fire hazard rating of 2. A full bulk chemical distributor would export the solvent throughout regions such as the UK, Europe, Africa and America. This product is a packing group 3.
