Glacial acrylic acid (GAA) is a clear, colorless liquid with an acrid odour which is miscible with water, alcohols and ethers. The chemical formula is CH2=CHCO2H. It is an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid which will undergo the typical reactions of a carboxylic acid as well as those of a vinyl compound. It is used in the production of polymers and acrylate esters and as a feedstock for chemical syntheses.The purity of the glacial acrylic acid is usually above the content of 99%. In this report, we count the glacial acrylic acid product.
The glacial acrylic acid (GAA) market is a specialized subset of the broader acrylic acid industry, characterized by its high purity and low water content, which make it suitable for more demanding industrial applications. GAA is primarily used in the production of superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) for hygiene products like baby diapers and adult incontinence pads, as well as in adhesives, paints, textiles, and coatings. Its ability to form polymers and co-polymers gives it wide utility across sectors that require durable, flexible, and high-performance materials.
Demand for glacial acrylic acid is closely tied to trends in hygiene and personal care, construction, automotive, and packaging industries. As these industries expand—especially in emerging markets—so does the need for high-quality input materials like GAA. Environmental regulations, advancements in bio-based acrylic acid alternatives, and the volatility of raw material costs also influence the market landscape. Increasing focus on sustainability and eco-friendly formulations is prompting manufacturers to explore greener production methods, which may redefine competitiveness and supply dynamics in the glacial acrylic acid market.
