Acrylates

Acrylates are a group of synthetic polymers derived from acrylic acid, commonly used in adhesives, coatings, cosmetics, and some consumer products. They are not food ingredients and primarily classified as materials. Some acrylate compounds can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions upon contact; inhalation or ingestion can be harmful depending on the specific acrylate compound and exposure level. Safe use depends on formulation and exposure controls.
