Main Applications:

1. Coatings Industry:
   • Butyl acrylate is commonly used as one of the main components in coatings, especially in water-based coatings and industrial coatings. It serves as a monomer to synthesize polymers that improve adhesion, weather resistance, and gloss of the coatings.
   • It is widely used in automotive coatings, architectural coatings, and anticorrosion coatings.
2. Adhesives:
   • Due to its good adhesion and flexibility, butyl acrylate is often used as a raw material in adhesives, especially in the production of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA). It helps to improve the adhesive strength and weather resistance of the glue.
3. Textiles:
   • Butyl acrylate is widely used in textile coatings and fiber treatments. Polymers formed from butyl acrylate improve the durability, flexibility, and water resistance of textiles.
4. Plastics:
   • Butyl acrylate is also used in the plastics industry, particularly in the production of thermoplastic plastics as a plasticizer to enhance flexibility and impact resistance.
5. Inks and Coatings:
   • Butyl acrylate is used in inks and printing coatings to improve the flow properties, adhesion, and durability of the ink, enhancing the quality and longevity of printed materials.
6. Other Uses:
   • Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Butyl acrylate is used in some cosmetics and skincare products as a plasticizer or film-forming agent to improve the smoothness and comfort of the product.
   • Sealers and Tapes: Due to its excellent adhesion, butyl acrylate is also used in the production of sealants and adhesive tapes for sealing and waterproofing applications.
