As feedstock for chemical synthesis and in the manufacture of polymers, due to its easier reaction with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds. Butyl acrylate forms homopolymers and copolymers. Copolymers of butyl acrylate can be prepared with acrylic acid and its salts, amides and esters, methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl chloride, styrene, butadiene etc.

Preferred raw material in reaction processes of emulsion and waterborne paints, binders and adhesives for pressure sensitive tape, sealants, textile binders, impact modifiers and construction material.
