Applications areas:

tert-Butyl acrylate (TBA) is used for the production of solid polymers, aqueous dispersions, and polymer solutions, which are used as coatings, binders, adhesives, and sealants in the automotive industry, in the rubber, paint and varnish, pulp and paper and other industries.
tert-Butyl acrylate (TBA) can be used in emulsion polymerization similar to other well-known acrylates like Butyl Acrylate or Methylmethacrylate. As the hydrolytic stability under harsh acidic conditions is reduced for tert-Butyl Acrylate (elimination of iso-butylene), it is recommended to use for the polymerization a pH range of 3-4 (controlled via puffer or alkaline substances like ammonia or bicarbonate). With a higher share of TBA (as a substitute of MMA) in the polymer, we observe an increased tendency of cross-linking. Most probably due to the higher backbone crosslinking tendency of acrylates compared to methacrylates(radical transfer to polymer chain/backbone). Best results concerning particle size distribution were achieved by using a polymer seed, either as a ready polymer dispersion (e.g. polystyrene) or as an in-situ polymer seed.
