Butyl Acrylate, also known as ethylhexyl acrylate, is a common chemical used in the production of paints, coatings, adhesives, and sealants. It is also used in the production of plastics and rubber materials.
Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to butyl acrylate include cracking, discoloration, and swelling. Rubber can also become brittle and lose its elasticity when exposed to butyl acrylate, leading to a decrease in the material's ability to effectively seal and protect against water and other chemicals. Additionally, butyl acrylate can cause the rubber to become brittle and deteriorate over time.
