Chemical Properties Of Hydroxyethyl acrylate Cas 818-61-1

Hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) is a key functional acrylic ester monomer with molecular formula C5H8O3 and MW: 116.12. Possessing both -COOCH₂- and -OH functional groups in its molecular structure, it exhibits polymerization reactivity alongside hydrophilicity/reactivity, making it a key intermediate in fine chemicals. Its core value lies in the synergistic effect of these two groups, imparting multiple functional properties such as adhesion, flexibility, and hydrophilicity to downstream products.

Product Application Of Hydroxyethyl acrylate Cas 818-61-1

  1.  As a crosslinking monomer or functional modifier, significantly enhances the comprehensive performance of coatings:
    – Water-based coatings: Used in architectural coatings, automotive topcoats, and metal anti-corrosion coatings.
    – UV-curable coatings: Used in wood coatings, plastic coatings, and electronic component encapsulation coatings.
    – Inks: Printed on non-absorbent substrates (e.g., plastic films, metal foils).

  2.  Leveraging its adhesive and crosslinking properties to produce high-performance adhesives:
    – Water-based adhesives: Used in woodworking glues and paper-plastic composite adhesives.
    – Polyurethane adhesives: Employed for automotive interior bonding and electronic component encapsulation.
    – Pressure-sensitive adhesives: Used in tapes, labels, and similar products.

  3.  Synthetic resin modification:
    – Acrylic resins: Used in high-end coatings and leather finishing agents.
    – Polyester resins: Used in unsaturated polyester resins and powder coatings.
    – Polyvinyl alcohol formal resins: Used in safety glass interlayers and adhesives.

  4.  Leveraging low toxicity and polymerizability for biomedical material preparation:
    – Pharmaceutical polymer carriers: Used for sustained- or controlled-release drugs in oral formulations and transdermal patches.
    – Biocompatible materials: Modified to produce biocompatible polymers for contact lenses, tissue engineering scaffolds, etc. (Purity ≥99.5%).

  5.  Monomer for textile finishing agents.

  6.  Used in synthesizing drilling fluid loss reducers and water blocking agents.

  7.  Used in rubber products like tires and seals to enhance rubber adhesion and oil resistance.
