Ethanol → Acrylic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the same procedure as was described in the preceding Examples, an interpolymer of 6.2 parts of acrylic acid, 32.8 parts of methyl acrylate and 61.0 parts of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate was prepared in 73.04 parts of ethyl acetate and 25.11 parts of denatured ethanol. Acetylacetone, 0.5 part, triethylamine, 0.53 part and a 75 percent solution of titanium diisopropyl diacetylacetonate, 0.82 part, were added. The resulting adhesive composition had a solids content of 45% and a viscosity, at 25° C., of 1875 cps. The adhesive properties of the composition were: 0° Shear -- > 24 hours; 180° Peel -- 3.0 lbs. per inch of width; 90° Quick Stick -- 0.52 lb. per inch of width.
