CAS #110489-05-9
2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA) is a versatile building block that copolymerizes with various acrylic and vinyl monomers to create high molecular weight copolymers for non-rigid applications. It offers a low Tg of -65°C, providing low-temperature flexibility, water resistance, weathering stability, and softness in copolymers. Its primary uses include adhesives (especially pressure-sensitive adhesives), paints, coatings, caulks, sealants, textile and paper finishes, and printing inks. Additionally, 2-EHA enhances polymers by contributing hydrophobicity, UV resistance, and durability, making it a major base monomer in diverse industries.
