ACRYLIC ACID (79-10-7)

Product Overview

Acrylic acid is an organic compound with the formula CH₂=CHCOOH. It is the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid, consisting of a vinyl group connected directly to a carboxylic acid terminus.

Acrylic acid is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pungent odor, serving as a key component in the production of plastics, resins, and coatings. It is highly reactive and poses risks due to its corrosive nature, with potential for polymerization and explosion. Simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid, composed of a vinyl group directly linked to a carboxylic acid terminus. Miscible with water, alcohols, ethers, and chloroform. Highly irritating and corrosive to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Prone to polymerization, especially when exposed to heat or confined spaces. Proper handling and inhibition are essential.
