Description and uses: 2-Hydroxy Ethyl Acrylate can be used in a variety of ways to produce resins which are useful in high performance coating applications.

Hydroxyethylacrylate appears as a clear colorless liquid. Less dense than water. Vapors heavier than air. 

Corrosive to tissue. May polymerize exothermically if heated or contaminated. If the polymerization takes place inside a container, the container may rupture violently. 

Used to make plastics.

2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA)

Applications 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA) forms homopolymers and copolymers.

Copolymers of 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA) can be prepared with acrylic acid and its salts, amides and esters, and with methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and drying oils, etc. 2-Hydroxyethyl

Acrylate (HEA) is also a very useful feedstock for chemical syntheses, because it readily undergoes addition reactions with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds.

Features & Benefits 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA) can be used to impart the following properties to polymers:

Chemical resistance

Crosllinking

Adhesion

Scratch resistance

Weatherability

Rheology modifier

Low VOC

Storage & Handling In order to prevent polymerization, 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA) must

always be stored under air, and never under inert gases. The presence of

oxygen is required for the stabilizer to function effectively. It has to contain

a stabilizer and the storage temeprature must not exceed 35 °C. Under

these conditions, a storage stability of one year can be expected upon

delivery. In order to minimize the likelihood of overstorage, the storage

procedure should strictly follow “first-in-first out” principle. For extended

storage periods over 4 weeks it is advisable to replenish the dissolved

oxygen content.

Over time the content of Ethylene Glycol Diacrylate slowly increases. If this

trace component is relevant to your process, the material should be

consumed within latest 6 months after receipt of the material.

The preferred construction material for tanks and pipes is stainless steel.

Carbon steel is also acceptable, although the formation of rust may be a

problem with product quality (colour). Iro(III)-ions have been shown to be a

weak polymerization initiator. If carbon steel is to be used, special

procedures should be used to prepare the tank for use. Storage tanks,

pumps and pipes should be earthed.
