Hydroxypropyl Acrylate (HPA)
This substance is a transparent, odorless liquid. Inhalation and skin contact can lead to toxicity, while it poses corrosive risks to tissues. With a flash point of 136°F, it can polymerize vigorously when heated or contaminated, potentially causing container rupture if polymerization occurs within. Its vapors are denser than air. Primarily employed in plastic production.
