4-HBA (4-Hydroxybutyl Acrylate)
4-HBA (4-Hydroxybutyl Acrylate) refers to named chemical substances, formulations or process materials within an identified composition specification.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
4-HBA (4-Hydroxybutyl Acrylate) is a clear water white liquid and acrylic acid ester, for manufacturing polymers and for use as a feedstock for syntheses. It is used for automotive painting. It helps protect against hardness and anit-rust, as well as offers good color, flatness, smoothness, brightness, and gloss.
Through the investigation and research team in-depth study of each company's 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, the content is commonly above 95%min. Besides, it is mainly synthesized by 1,4-butanediol and acrylate with catalyst. As for its downstream applications, there is also no obvious gap for its purity. Thus, classification of 4-HBA (4-Hydroxybutyl Acrylate) has been omitted in the report.
Full identity, composition, supplied form, impurities and compatibility define comparison; application categories do not prove purity, approval or finished-product results.
What turns activity into demand
Purchases need an identified composition or grade, supplied form and accepted specification. Material quantities and purchases of finished equipment are different demand measures; a category label does not establish qualified supply.
The commercial boundary
Use the selected edition’s product level, geography, years and measurement basis. Materials, components, finished systems and services are separate commercial boundaries unless the edition explicitly combines them.
Which composition, supplied form and specification define 4-HBA (4-Hydroxybutyl Acrylate)?
Full identity, composition, supplied form, impurities and compatibility define comparison; application categories do not prove purity, approval or finished-product results.
