Ammonium acrylate
What is Ammonium acrylate?
Ammonium acrylate (CAS 10604-69-0) is the ammonium salt of acrylic acid; a reactive monomer and polymerization building block in industrial polymer synthesis.
Where is Ammonium acrylate used?
- Water treatment: flocculants and scale inhibitors in municipal and industrial effluent processing
- Agriculture: superabsorbent polymer chains and hydrogel networks for controlled-release applications, including slow-release fertilizer coatings and soil conditioning
- Plastics manufacturing: co-monomer in acrylic dispersions and latex systems where water solubility and charge density must be controlled
- In pH-sensitive polymer systems its buffering capacity helps stabilize reaction conditions.
Commercial specifications
- Technical grade, specifications aligned to monomer purity requirements
- Drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs)
