Buy Glacial Acrylic Acid in Bulk, Drums & IBCs – Monomer for Resins, Superabsorbents and Coatings
Rotterdam Chemicals Group supplies Glacial Acrylic Acid (GAA), a high-purity monomer used extensively in the production of resins, adhesives, coatings, and superabsorbent polymers. Our acrylic acid is REACH registered, delivered with full documentation, and available in bulk and packaged formats. We provide global supply from our Rotterdam hub with flexible delivery options.
What is Acrylic Acid (Glacial)?
Acrylic Acid (CAS 79-10-7) is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent acrid odor. It is the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid, consisting of a vinyl group attached to a carboxyl group. Acrylic Acid is highly reactive and used as a key building block for polymers, resins, and coatings. Glacial Acrylic Acid (GAA) refers to its high-purity, anhydrous form, widely applied in industrial polymer synthesis.
