polüetüülakrülaati

Polüetüülakrülaat, often abbreviated as PEA, is a synthetic polymer derived from the esterification of acrylic acid with ethanol. It is a type of polyacrylate, belonging to the broader family of vinyl polymers. PEA is a clear, colorless, and odorless thermoplastic material that exhibits flexibility and good adhesion properties. Its physical characteristics can vary depending on the polymerization process and molecular weight.

The primary applications of polüetüülakrülaat lie in its use as an adhesive and binder. It is commonly found in pressure-sensitive adhesives, such as those used in tapes and labels, where its tack and peel strength are advantageous. PEA also serves as a component in coatings and paints, contributing to film formation and durability. In the textile industry, it can be employed as a sizing agent or a finishing treatment to improve fabric properties. Its resistance to weathering and UV radiation makes it suitable for outdoor applications. The specific properties of PEA can be further modified through copolymerization with other monomers to achieve a wider range of performance characteristics.
