Property:

Colorless liquid, pungent odor, miscible with water, can be miscible in ethanol, ether. Chemically active, easy polymerization in the air, hydrogenation can be reduced to propionic acid, and hydrogen chloride addition to produce 2-chloropropionic acid.

Usage:

For the manufacture of coatings, elastomers, adhesives, thickeners, superabsorbent compounds, acrylates and cellulosic compounds The main non-ester use is the production of copolymers of water-soluble resins or acrylic solution copolymers and vinyl emulsion copolymers.
