Chemical properties:
Colorless liquid, volatile. Miscible with ethanol and ether, soluble in chloroform, slightly soluble in water.
Uses:
1. Mainly used as a comonomer of synthetic resins, the copolymers formed are widely used in coatings, textiles, leather, adhesives and other industrial uses. Ethyl acrylate is an intermediate for the preparation of carbamate insecticide benfuracarb. It can also be used as a raw material for protective coatings, adhesives and paper impregnation agents. Its polymer can be used as a leather anti-cracking agent. The copolymer with ethylene is a hot-melt adhesive. The copolymer with 5% chloroethyl vinyl ether is a synthetic rubber with good oil resistance and heat resistance, which can replace nitrile rubber in some cases.
2. Edible spices allowed for use in GB2760-1996. Mainly used for the preparation of rum, pineapple and assorted fruit flavors.
3. Monomer of polymer synthetic materials. It is also used in the manufacture of coatings, adhesives, leather processing agents, textile auxiliaries, paint additives, etc. The copolymer with ethylene is a hot melt adhesive; the copolymer with 5% chloroethyl vinyl ether is a synthetic rubber with good oil resistance and heat resistance, which can replace nitrile rubber in some cases.
5. Polymerizable monomer, used for medium-soft flexible polymers.
6. Organic synthesis. Various resins for the production of coatings, textiles, leather, adhesives and other industries.
