Basic Information
Product Name: POLY(ACRYLIC ACID)
CAS Number: 9007-20-9
Alias: Polyacrylic acid, PAA, Acrylic acid polymer
Molecular Formula: (C3H4O2)n
Average Molecular Weight: Variable (multiple specifications available)
Structural Information
- Structure Type: Water-soluble anionic polymer, formed by radical polymerization of acrylic acid monomers.
- Structural Features: Long linear polymer chain with a large number of carboxyl groups on the molecular backbone. It possesses strong hydrophilicity, ion exchange capacity and thickening property. The molecular weight varies according to different polymerization degrees.
Physical & Chemical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid or white solid powder
- Odor: Slight characteristic odor
- Density: 1.05 ~ 1.20 g/mL (liquid form, 20 °C)
- pH Value (1% Aqueous Solution): 2.0 ~ 3.5
- Solubility: Fully soluble in water, methanol and ethanol; insoluble in hydrocarbons, esters and other non-polar organic solvents
- Viscosity: Varies greatly depending on molecular weight and concentration
- Stability: Stable under normal temperature. High temperature and strong alkali will cause molecular chain degradation. Avoid long-term exposure to strong oxidants.
Synthesis & Applications
Synthesis Method
Produced by free radical polymerization of acrylic acid monomer in aqueous solution. Initiated by water-soluble initiator, the reaction is carried out under controlled temperature. After polymerization, concentration, neutralization or drying processes are applied to obtain liquid or solid finished products.
Main Applications
- Water treatment industry: Used as scale inhibitor, dispersant and flocculant for circulating water and wastewater treatment.
- Daily chemical industry: Serves as thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier in detergents, lotions and personal care products.
- Industrial manufacturing: Applied as binder, thickener and dispersant in coatings, papermaking, textile and leather processing.
- Pharmaceutical and chemical fields: Used as sustained-release material, thickening agent and auxiliary excipient.
Safety & Storage Instructions
- Hazard Classification: Low irritant substance
- Personal Protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves and safety goggles during operation. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water.
- Storage Condition: Keep containers tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse at room temperature. Keep away from heat sources, strong alkalis and oxidizing agents.
- Transportation: Belongs to general chemicals. No dangerous goods transportation restrictions. Prevent package leakage and freezing during transit.
Quality & Spectral Data
- Solid Content: 20% / 30% / 40% / 50% (liquid product)
- Molecular Weight Range: 2000 ~ 500000 (customizable)
- Residue on Ignition: ≤0.5%
- Free Monomer Content: ≤0.5%
