Acrylic Acid
It is miscible with water, alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform, and acetone. It polymerizes readily in the presence of oxygen. Exothermic polymerization at room temperature may cause acrylic acid to become explosive if confined.
It is sensitive to heat and sunlight. It is normally supplied as the inhibited monomer, but because of its relatively high freezing point it often partly solidifies and the solid phase will then be free of the inhibitor which remains in the liquid phase.
It is also a fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Acrylic acid is incompatible with strong oxidizers, strong bases, strong alkalies and pure nitrogen.

1)The primary use of acrylic acid is in the production of acrylic esters and resins, which are used primarily in coatings and adhesives.
t is also used in oil treatment chemicals, detergent intermediates, water treatment chemicals, and water absorbent polyacrylic acid polymers.
3)Acrylic acid is used widely for polymerization, including production of polyacrylates.
4) It is used in the manufacture of plastics, as a tackifier, as a flocculant, in the production of water-soluble resins and salts, as a comonomer in acrylic emulsion and solution polymers and in molding powder for signs, construction units, decorative emblems and insignias.
5)It is used in polymer solutions for coatings applications, in paint formulations, in leather finishings, in paper coatings, in polishes and adhesives and in general finishes and binders.
