Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains finishing agents making it suitable only for textile use
Additives rendering product suitable for specific use exclude from Chapter 29 per note (g).
If supplied as 75% aqueous solution for direct finishing application
Water solutions beyond Chapter 29 note (d) standard strengths classify as preparations.
If imported pre-applied to textile fabric
Textile fabrics impregnated with polymers classify under Chapter 59 rather than chemical monomers.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify APHA color (<10) and iron content (<1ppm) in CoA for textile applications
• Use PE-lined drums only; butyl acrylate permeates standard coatings
• Winterize with antifreeze additives if shipping below 10°C freezing point

n-Butyl Acrylate
n-Butyl acrylate is the butyl ester of acrylic acid, a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor used primarily as a monomer in polymerization reactions. It falls under HTS 2916.12.50.30 as an ester of acrylic acid, specifically the butyl ester variant, meeting Chapter 29 requirements for separate chemically defined organic compounds. Commonly employed in producing acrylic polymers for coatings and adhesives.
2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (Monomer Grade)
Industrial-grade 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, a branched-chain ester of acrylic acid used in low-Tg polymers for pressure-sensitive adhesives. Classified under HTS 2916.12.50.30 as 'other' acrylic acid esters excluding methyl, ethyl, and specific isomers, per the unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid esters heading. Meets Chapter 29 purity standards for chemically defined compounds.
