Butyl acrylate is a "soft-monomer" used to enhance low-temperature properties, toughness, flexibility, and softness in copolymers. Its primary markets include paints and coatings, and adhesives and sealants, with additional applications in inks, textiles, paper, leather finishes, and caulks. Known for its superior photostability and weather resistance, it is ideal for applications requiring durability under sunlight. Butyl acrylate is the principal acrylic ester monomer polymerized with other compounds to achieve desired hardness, flexibility, and toughness in copolymer systems.
