Acrylic Acid CAS 79-10-7

1. Acrylic acid CAS 79-10-7 is primarily used to manufacture superabsorbent polymers (SAP) for diapers, as well as adhesives, coatings, paints, and textiles .
2. Acrylic acid acts as a precursor to acrylate esters and salts, which are key raw materials for synthetic resins, rubbers, and floor polishes .
3. Emerging applications include plant-based acrylic acid for sustainable cosmetics and eco-friendly materials, produced via microbial fermentation .

1. Store Acrylic acid CAS 79-10-7 in a tightly sealed container in a cool, well-ventilated area below 5°C to 20°C, away from heat, sparks, and direct sunlight .
2. Keep Acrylic acid strictly separated from strong oxidizing agents, bases, amines, and peroxides to prevent explosive polymerization .
3. Handle Acrylic acid using appropriate personal protective equipment including chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles, as it is corrosive and causes severe skin and eye burns .

1. Isolate the spill area (at least 50 meters/150 feet), eliminate all ignition sources, and wear full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus .
2. Absorb liquid Acrylic acid with dry inert material like sand or vermiculite, collect using non-sparking tools into sealed, labeled containers, and prevent entry into drains or waterways .
3. Personnel cleaning Acrylic acid spills must dispose of waste according to hazardous material regulations (UN 2218, Hazard Class 8/3) and wash the spill site thoroughly after cleanup .

1. Acrylic acid CAS 79-10-7 is a flammable liquid (flash point 54°C/130°F) and vapor (H226) that is corrosive, causing severe skin burns and serious eye damage.
2. Acrylic acid is harmful if swallowed, toxic in contact with skin (H311), and toxic if inhaled (H331); it may cause damage to organs through prolonged exposure .
3. Acrylic acid may polymerize violently if heated or contaminated, is very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (H400), and has occupational exposure limits.
