Description and Uses
Methyl acrylate is an organic compound with the formula CH2CHCO2CH3. It is the methyl ester of acrylic acid. It is a colourless liquid with a characteristic acrid odor. It is mainly produced to make acrylate fiber, which is used to weave synthetic carpets. It is also a reagent in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical intermediates.
Methyl acrylate is a monomer used in the manufacture of acrylic fibers, plastic films, textiles, papercoatings, and other acrylate ester resins. It is also used in amphoteric surfactants.
