Methyl Acrylate (CAS 96-33-3) is an acrylic monomer. It is useful in the preparation of polymers having rigid, flexible, ionic, nonionic, hydrophobic, or hydrophilic properties. Methyl acrylate was used in the preparation of poly(methyl acrylate) elastomers. It was also used in the synthesis of α,ω-dicarboxylic acid esters.
