Acrylic Acid is a colorless, corrosive liquid with a pungent, acrid odor. It is an unsaturated carboxylic acid (CH₂=CHCOOH) that is highly reactive and polymerizable. Acrylic acid is primarily used as a monomer in the production of acrylic polymers, superabsorbent polymers, adhesives, coatings, paints, and textiles.
