Ethyl Acrylate is an acrylate monomer with a molecular formula of C5H8O2. It is a clear and volatile liquid with a sharp acrid odor and slightly soluble in water and completely soluble in alcohols, ethers and almost all organic solvents. Ethyl acrylate can be chemically produced using several industrial methods. The most prominent method is to react acrylonitrile and ethanol using sulphuric acid as the catalyst. Other chemicals used in this reaction are acetylene, carbon monoxide and ethanol. This product readily polymerizes unless an inhibitor such as hydroquinone is added. Hydroquinone allows to stabilize it during transportation.
