Used primarily in the production of polymers and copolymers, acrylic acid is a key component in manufacturing water-absorbent materials found in diapers and sanitary products. It is also used to produce coatings, adhesives, and sealants due to its strong binding and film-forming properties. In textiles, it helps improve fabric durability and resistance to wear. Acrylic acid derivatives are found in detergents and dispersants, enhancing cleaning performance. Additionally, it plays a role in the formulation of paints and construction materials by improving adhesion and water resistance.
