Poly(ethyl acrylate)
Chemical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA) is a family of organic polymers with the formula (CH2CHCO2CH2CH3)n. It is a synthetic acrylate polymer derived from ethyl acrylate monomer. The polymers are colorless. This homopolymer is far less important than copolymers derived from ethyl acrylate and other monomers. It has a low glass-transition temperature between -8 °C[1] and -24 °C.[2]

Copolymers
Far more important than PEA are copolymers produced from ethyl acrylate and one or more of the following comonomers methyl methacrylate, styrene, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, and butadiene.[3]
