2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate, Form : Liquid, Purity : 99%

2-Ethylhexyl acrylate (HA) is the ester of acrylic acid and 2-ethyl hexanol. It is used as a raw material to make adhesives, coatings, construction materials, acrylic rubber, and emulsions. 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate is an acrylate monomor with a molecular formula of CH2=CHCOOC8H17.  It is a clear liquid which is completely soluble in alcohols and ethers but not soluble in water. 2 ethylhexyl acrylate is not a very flammable liquid with a flashpoint between 75 – 90° C and has a characteristic acrylic odour. 

It is easily miscible with other organic solvents and is readily polymerized with monomer molecules to create polymer chains. 2-ethyl acrylate will react with oxidising agents such as alkalis and will polymerise with the application of heat. Polymerisation is inhibited with methyl ether or hydroquinone.
