Acrylic acid (stabilized with MEHQ)（Cat No.:R047525）is a colorless, corrosive liquid with a pungent odor, widely used as a monomer in the production of polymers, adhesives, paints, and superabsorbent materials. Its chemical formula is C₃H₄O₂, featuring a vinyl group conjugated to a carboxylic acid. Due to its high reactivity and tendency to polymerize spontaneously, it is commonly stabilized with MEHQ (monomethyl ether of hydroquinone), a polymerization inhibitor that ensures safe storage and handling. Acrylic acid is soluble in water and many organic solvents and plays a crucial role in industrial and biomedical applications.
