Usage

General Description

2-octyl acrylate is a chemical compound that is used in the production of adhesives, sealants, and coatings. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor and is highly flammable. This chemical is known for its ability to polymerize easily through free radical mechanisms, making it a valuable component in the manufacturing of various polymers and resins. 2-octyl acrylate is commonly used in the production of pressure-sensitive adhesives, especially in applications where flexibility and weather resistance are needed. It is important to handle and store this chemical with care due to its flammability and potential to cause skin and eye irritation upon contact.
