Phenyl acrylate（Cat No.:L012618）is an aromatic ester with the molecular formula C9H8O2, consisting of an acrylate group (CH2=CHCOO–) bonded to a phenyl ring. This colorless to pale yellow liquid is used primarily as a monomer or comonomer in polymer synthesis, particularly for coatings, adhesives, and plastics. Its unsaturated double bond enables polymerization, while the phenyl ring contributes to rigidity and thermal resistance in the resulting materials. Phenyl acrylate is reactive and may cause skin or respiratory irritation; therefore, it should be handled with appropriate protective equipment in a well-ventilated environment.
