What are the uses of acrylic acid (CAS 79-10-7)?

1. Polymerization. Acrylic acid is a polymerizable monomer that can be used to prepare polyacrylic acid or copolymerize with other monomers such as ethylene and styrene to form copolymers. These polymers are widely used in industries such as plastics, fibers, and glues.

2. Adhesives. Acrylic acid has high adhesion and can be used as a component of adhesives or glues. For example, acrylic acid can be copolymerized with styrene to form acrylate adhesives, which are used to prepare various adhesives, sealants, etc.

3. Paint Additives. Acrylic acid and its derivatives can be used as additives in paints to improve the weather resistance, adhesion and corrosion resistance of paints. Acrylates and anhydrides can be used as the main components of paints to prepare acrylate resins.

4. Medical materials. Acrylic acid and its derivatives have important applications in the medical field. Acrylates can be used to prepare medical devices such as artificial eyeballs and artificial heart valves. Acrylate resins can also be used to prepare denture base materials and gum repairs. In addition, acrylic acid can also be used as a raw material or intermediate for drugs.

5. Water treatment agents. Acrylic acid and its derivatives can be used as water treatment agents to treat and purify water sources. Acrylic polymers can absorb impurities in water, remove harmful substances such as suspended matter and heavy metal ions, thereby improving the quality of water.

6. Used to make pesticides. Acrylic acid can be used as a chelating agent and Surfactant in pesticides to make pesticides more insecticidal. At the same time, it can also be used as a de-impurity agent to dissolve water-insoluble pesticides in water and effectively activate them, thereby achieving the effect of insecticide.
