Poly(sec-butyl acrylate)

polymer

Poly(sec-butyl acrylate) is a synthetic acrylic polymer formed by polymerization of sec-butyl acrylate monomers, belonging to the family of alkyl acrylates widely used in adhesives and coatings. This material is primarily encountered in pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) formulations, acrylic latex coatings, and flexible film applications where moderate flexibility and processability are required. Engineers select sec-butyl acrylate-based polymers when balancing adhesive tack, cohesive strength, and environmental resistance in applications requiring lower glass transition temperatures than methyl or ethyl acrylates.

Safety & Biocompatibility

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
