Is acrylic acid (AA CAS 79-10-7) safe for skin?

CAS 79-10-7 Acrylic acid is an important organic chemical raw material and a crucial monomer for synthetic resins. Its main derivatives are various acrylates and acrylates, with the most famous esters and salts including methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, isooctyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, and sodium acrylate. 

 

(AA) Acrylic acid is not safe for skin. It is a severe skin irritant and corrosive.
