Application

2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate (2-EHMA) is a versatile chemical primarily used for synthesizing polymers, leveraging its distinctive methacrylate group known for high reactivity. As a colorless liquid, it is capable of forming both homopolymers and copolymers, often combined with various compounds like (meth)acrylic acid and its derivatives, acrylonitrile, and others. Its applications are diverse, spanning from release coating compositions, coating resins, and plastic enhancers, to reactive systems and textile treating agents. Additionally, 2-EHMA is valuable in the production of fabric auxiliaries, paper products, lubricating oil additives, adhesives, dental materials, and more. It is particularly effective in product formulations such as latex paints and lacquers, and for improving the viscosity index in certain formulations. Stabilized with hydroquinone monomethyl ether to prevent premature polymerization, 2-EHMA is heat-sensitive and should be handled carefully to avoid reactions with strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
