Octyl acrylate is an aliphatic, water-insoluble monomer with a molecular weight of 106.87 g/mol and a density of 0.8920 g/cm³. Octyl acrylate is used in the production of acrylic polymers, paints, adhesives, and sealants. The product is available as a viscous liquid with an odour reminiscent of acetic acid. This product can be activated by inorganic acids or other activators to form acrylic esters and alcohols. The viscosity of octyl acrylate increases with increasing temperature, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds. The reaction products are aliphatic hydrocarbons that are isolated from the reaction mixture by distillation or crystallization. The NMR spectra show peaks for hydroxyl groups and fatty acid chains at around 3 ppm (parts per million).
