China, Germany, and the United States are the leading exporters of butyl acrylate, collectively accounting for over 50% of global exports in recent years; major importers include India, South Korea, and Mexico, reflecting strong demand from regional coatings, adhesives, and polymer manufacturing sectors. Import volumes into Southeast Asia and India have risen steadily since 2022, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on butyl acrylate prices amid tightening supply chains and feedstock cost volatility.
Butyl acrylate is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic pungent, fruity odor and moderate volatility; it has a boiling point of approximately 145–148 °C and a melting point near −65 °C. It is an α,β-unsaturated ester and belongs to the class of acrylic monomers. Primarily used as a reactive comonomer in free-radical polymerization, it imparts flexibility, adhesion, and weather resistance to acrylic resins. Its principal applications are in water-based and solvent-borne coatings, architectural paints, adhesives, sealants, and textile and paper finishes. It serves as a key building block for copolymers in latexes, emulsion polymers, and pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Intermediate in organic synthesis, polymers andcopolymers for solvent coatings, adhesives, paints,binders, emulsifiers.
Butyl acrylate is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor. It is readily miscible with most organic solvents. Butyl acrylate contains one of the following three inhibitors to prevent polymerization under recommended storage conditions:Hydroquinone (HQ) CAS 123-31-95Monomethyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ) CAS 150-76-5Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) CAS 128-37-0
