Is Isobutyl Acrylate the same as n-Butyl Acrylate?

No. They are different acrylate monomers with the same molecular formula but different structures. The selected monomer should follow the intended copolymer recipe and process requirement, not a name-based substitution.

Is IBA directly added to a finished coating or adhesive?

No. IBA is a reactive monomer used during acrylic-polymer manufacture. The resulting resin is then formulated into a coating, ink, sealant or adhesive system according to the required product design.

Which IBA points should be confirmed before production use?

Confirm assay, water, inhibitor condition, packing and the expected storage period. The offered batch COA should be matched to the agreed specification before the monomer is introduced into polymerisation.

Isobutyl Acrylate (IBA) CAS 106-63-8

Isobutyl Acrylate (IBA), CAS 106-63-8, also known as isobutyl acrylate or acrylic acid isobutyl ester, is an acrylate monomer for polymer dispersions used in industrial coatings, adhesives, printing inks and selected binder systems. n-Butyl Acrylate is a related linear-butyl acrylate option for copolymer design. It is selected during polymer manufacture according to the co-monomer balance and inhibitor condition. COA, TDS and SDS are available for the offered batch; assay, water, inhibitor level and packing are confirmed for the intended process.

Product Description

1 Product Introduction

2 Applications

3 Grade and Identity Control

Product Introduction

Isobutyl Acrylate (IBA) (CAS 106-63-8) is a stabilized acrylic ester monomer for specialty acrylic copolymer manufacture. The listed product is used in adhesive, coating and binder polymer routes where isobutyl acrylate is specifically required. It is distinct from n-Butyl Acrylate; the product name and CAS must be aligned before release to production.

Applications

Specialty acrylic copolymers for coating and binder resins
Adhesive polymer systems using IBA as a named comonomer
Emulsion and solution-polymer dispersions for industrial formulations
Polymer-synthesis routes requiring the isobutyl acrylate isomer

Grade and Identity Control

An IBA order is released against the required isomer identity and agreed monomer assay, inhibitor system, colour, water and acid-value limits. The package and order quantity are then selected for the specified process and handling route. A batch COA, with the applicable TDS and SDS, is available for the quoted Isobutyl Acrylate grade.

For related acrylate monomer pages used in acrylic copolymer production, compare 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate, Ethyl Acrylate, and n-Butyl Acrylate.
