Butyl acrylate (acrylic acid butyl ester) is a colorless liquid with an unpleasant pungent odor. It is well soluble in organic solvents, poorly - in water.
Butyl acrylate is easily polymerized by heat, light, initiators, and it is also easily copolymerized, for example, with acrylic acid, its salts and esters, acrylamide, methacrylates, acrylonitrile, vinyl monomers, butadiene.

It is used to produce polybutyl acrylates, acrylate rubbers, as well as various copolymers, acrylic paints and specialized coatings.
