Personal Use

Acrylate monomers are chemically converted to new materials which are then used to produce products available to the consumers. These consumer products include fibers, fabrics for clothing or household items like furniture or draperies, and plastics of various types. They are also used to make paints and adhesives for crafts and do-it-yourself home improvement projects. There are also some acrylate-based materials used in to produce detergents, cosmetic or personal care products. Acrylic acid is used as the monomer for superabsorbent polymers for personal and baby care products. Acrylates are frequently used in UV cured resins for electronic components to protect them from moisture, dust, dirt and other contaminants.
