Acrylic acid is used as a chemical intermediate for the production of acrylic esters like ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, and 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate and superabsorbent polymers (glacial acrylic acid). Global capacity is just over 3.5 million tpa. Major markets for esters include coatings, adhesives, textiles, paper coatings and additives. MMA is used in polymers in various forms such as cast sheets, latices and moulding and extrusion polymers. Applications include advertising signs, aircraft windows, desk tops, lighting fixtures, building panels and plumbing/bathroom fixtures.
