Acrylate polymer is commonly used in cosmetics, such as nail polish, as an adhesive.
[3] Acrylic elastomer possesses characteristics of heat and oil resistance, with the ability to withstand temperatures of 170–180 °C.
It is used primarily for producing oil seals and packaging related to automobiles.
"Old" types include ACM (copolymer of acrylic acid ester and 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether) containing chlorine and ANM (copolymer of acrylic acid ester and acrylonitrile) without chloride.
To minimize permanent deformation, the old type requires curing for 24 hours at a temperature of 150 °C.
