Acrylates are the salts, esters, and conjugate bases of acrylic acid. However, for this study, acrylate refers to acrylate monomers. Acrylate monomers are used to produce polymers and co-polymers. The major types of acrylate monomers include butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, and 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate. These are moderately soluble in water and are completely soluble in alcohols, ethers, and other organic solvents. Acrylates are used in paints & coatings, adhesives, fabrics, and other applications as they improve the resistance of polymers to light, heat, aging, acids, and bases; they also impart properties such as durability and hardness. 1. Micromarkets are the subsegments of the acrylates market included in the report. 2. Core competencies of the companies are determined in terms of their key developments and key strategies adopted by them to sustain in the market.
