Novomer Acrylic acid has developed a cost-competitive, sustainable route to produce glacial acrylic acid (GAA) from plant-based and renewable feedstocks. The monomer is created via thermolysis of poly(3-hydroxypropionate), or p(3HP). p(3HP) is synthesized via polymerization of beta-propiolactone, which is produced using the CoEth process that reacts ethylene oxide (EO) and carbon monoxide (CO). p(3HP) is hydrophobic, stable under ambient conditions, transportable in a variety of standard containers, storable for extended periods of time, and requires no special handling. A key benefit of this route is that p(3HP) may be readily converted to GAA “on demand” at a customer site. This conversion process is quantitative and produces GAA with greater than 99.9% purity. This approach allows GAA, in the form of p(3HP), to be shipped around the world under ambient conditions without need of stabilizers or refrigeration. It can then be inventoried and used as needed. GAA consumers no longer need to be located adjacent to an acrylic production facility.
