  • Applications

    Propyl 3-(3-furyl)acrylate (CAS 6938-33-6) is a reactive acrylate monomer designed to introduce furyl functionality into polymer backbones. It is used in radical polymerization to prepare specialty polyacrylates for UV-curable coatings and inks, where the furyl group can enhance crosslinking opportunities and enable post‑modification. It also serves as a component in adhesive and sealant formulations, copolymerizing with other acrylates to improve adhesion and heat resistance. The furyl functionality enables post‑polymerization modification and crosslinking via Diels–Alder chemistry, enabling tailored properties for electronics, optoelectronic coatings, and high‑performance coatings. It is also employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of functional polymers and reactive intermediates for coatings and adhesives, with handling and formulation limits governed by local regulations.
