Description
Benzyl acrylate (CAS No. 2495-35-4) is a high-purity, versatile monomer extensively utilized in polymer and adhesive formulations. With the molecular formula C10H10O2, this ester of acrylic acid offers excellent reactivity due to its terminal vinyl group, making it a key component in UV-curable resins, coatings, and pressure-sensitive adhesives. Stabilized with MEHQ (typically 50-150 ppm) to prevent premature polymerization, our benzyl acrylate is rigorously tested for consistency, low viscosity (~2.2 cps), and optimal performance in free-radical polymerization systems. Ideal for industrial and research applications requiring tailored acrylic polymers with enhanced flexibility, adhesion, and chemical resistance. Available in bulk quantities with detailed technical specifications, SDS, and GC/MS purity reports.

Benzyl acrylate is widely employed as a reactive diluent in UV-curable inks and coatings, imparting low volatility and improved film flexibility. It serves as a co-monomer in acrylic adhesives to enhance tack and peel strength. Researchers utilize it in synthesizing specialty polymers for biomedical and electronic applications due to its biocompatibility and tunable properties. Its compatibility with other acrylates makes it valuable in formulating dental composites and photopolymer resins for 3D printing.
