Disacryl

/dɪsˈæk.rɪl/ noun

Definition

A chemical compound or substance that is not acrylic or lacks acrylic properties; a non-acrylic material.

From dis- + acryl (from acrylic, which comes from Latin 'acer,' sharp, plus Greek 'hyle,' matter). This technical term negates acrylicity.

Kelly Says

This is a super specialized chemistry or materials science term that you'd encounter in technical documents about polymers and plastics—it's the opposite of acrylic.
