Acrylic acid and esters are the most versatile series of monomers for providing performance characteristics to thousands of polymer formulations. Acrylic acid is produced from propene which is a byproduct of ethylene and gasoline production.

Major markets for the esters include surface coatings, textiles, adhesives and plastics. Polyacrylic acid or copolymers find applications in superabsorbents, detergents, dispersants, flocculants and thickeners. Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are used primarily in disposable diapers.
