acrylic acid

Acrylates are the salts and esters of acrylic acid.

Metabolix is developing techniques to produce sustainable biobased acrylic acid.

It has acrylic acid and ester plants that were built in the 1980's with technology licensed from the Japanese company Mitsubishi.

The first acrylic acid was created in 1843.

Methacrylic acid, derived from acrylic acid, was formulated in 1865.

Additionally, all acrylic acid is produced via the transient formation of acrolein.

It is the methyl ester of acrylic acid.

Especially esters of acrylic acid are used to help make certain dyes and paints or as adhesives.

Upon distillation, it dehydrates to form acrylic acid.

Polyacrylamide can be co-polymerized with acrylic acid and other monomers.
