polyacrylic
Acrylic-based synthetic material
Polyacrylic refers to polymers derived from acrylic acid or its derivatives, used widely in adhesives, paints, coatings, and textiles.
Polyacrylic compounds are valued for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to water and chemicals: a polyacrylic sealant, polyacrylic fibers in athletic wear.
The term appears most often in materials science and product descriptions.
