Acrylic acid, monomer, water treatment, environmental protection chemicals
2026-09-22
Acrylic acid is the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid. At room temperature and atmospheric pressure, it is a colorless transparent liquid with a pungent acid odor and strong corrosiveness. It is an extremely important basic petrochemical raw material and organic synthesis intermediate.
Application Scope
Acrylic acid is mainly used as a raw material for acrylate series products and superabsorbent resins, among which superabsorbent resins are the largest downstream application field of acrylic acid. Acrylic acid is also used in water treatment agents, detergent builders, coatings and paints, adhesives and sealants, textile and leather industries, petroleum extraction, plastic modification, papermaking chemicals, etc.

Related Application Directions
- Drilling and Completion Polymers (Oilfield): Reduce stuck pipe accidents, alleviate equipment wear, prevent blowouts and wellbore collapse
- Settling (Water Treatment): Achieve rapid aggregation and settling of suspended particles, improve water purification efficiency.
- Construction (Construction): Under the action of high-speed fluid flow formed at the drill bit nozzles, it rapidly dissolves and sprays toward the bottom of the well. This high-speed ejected mud can wash up rock cuttings at the bottom of the well, playing a role in cleaning the hole bottom.
