tert-Butyl acrylate is a monomer used in the production of poly(tert-butyl acrylate) polymers, poly(acrylic acid) polyelectrolyte brushes and 3-(3-methyl-but-3-enyloxy)-propionic acid tert-butyl ester. It is also used in paints, coatings, high polymer paper conditioner, nursing polymer products and carbonyl reforming polyolefin. Further, it serves as an important raw material in organic synthesis.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
