Buy Butyl Acrylate (BA) in Bulk, Drums & IBCs – Emulsion Polymers, Sealants and Paints
Rotterdam Chemicals Group supplies high-purity Butyl Acrylate (BA) for the production of flexible acrylic polymers used in coatings, adhesives, textiles, and construction chemicals. Our BA is REACH compliant and available in industrial grade. Products are stocked in Rotterdam and distributed globally in drums, IBCs and ISO tanks with full documentation and safety compliance.
What is Butyl Acrylate (BA)?
Butyl Acrylate (CAS 141-32-2) is a clear, colorless liquid with a fruity odor. It is an ester of acrylic acid and butanol, primarily used as a monomer in emulsion and solution polymerization. BA imparts softness, flexibility, and weather resistance to acrylic polymers used in coatings, adhesives, and sealants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What stabilizer is used for BA?
Butyl Acrylate is typically inhibited with MEHQ to prevent premature polymerization.
What are common copolymers formed with BA?
BA is commonly copolymerized with MMA, AA, and styrene for a range of polymer properties.
Can BA be used in high-solids or low-VOC coatings?
Yes. BA is widely used in low-VOC and waterborne acrylic systems.
How should BA be stored?
In tightly sealed containers, away from heat and light, preferably under nitrogen atmosphere.
