sec-Butyl acrylate

sec-Butyl acrylate is an alkyl acrylate monomer featuring a secondary butyl group, which influences polymerization behavior and the resulting polymer properties. The presence of the acrylate functional group enables rapid free-radical polymerization, forming flexible and impact-resistant copolymers. Compared to its n-butyl counterpart, sec-butyl acrylate provides improved adhesion and weatherability in coatings and adhesives.

Applications:

Adhesives & Sealants: Enhances adhesion and flexibility in pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Coatings & Paints: Improves impact resistance and UV stability in protective coatings.
Elastomers & Plastics: Used as a co-monomer in polymer formulations to modify mechanical properties.
