Polyacrylic acid (PAA for short), also known as 2-acrylic homopolymer, acrylic resin coating, acrylic resin, acrylic monomer polymer, acrylic modified resin, acrylic resin lotion, is a water-soluble acrylic polymer, which is also soluble in some polar solvents, such as methanol, dioxane and ethylene glycol. Ionization constant Chemicalbook 4.75. Because there are a lot of carboxyl groups in the molecule, it can react with bases, alcohols, amines, dehydration, degradation and complexation. It can be used as thickener, dispersant, flocculant, adhesive and film-forming agent, and is widely used in coating, plastic, paper making, textile, rubber, food, medicine, cosmetics, water treatment and other industries.
