2-Ethyl hexyl Acrylate (2EHA)

Description

2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA) is a versatile acrylate monomer used extensively in the production of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs) and high-performance coatings.

Uses

Primary monomer for pressure-sensitive adhesives (tapes, labels), textiles, leather finishing, and as a co-monomer in latex paints and paper coatings.

Benefits

Provides excellent low-temperature flexibility and water resistance.

Application Benefits

Essential for \”peel and stick\” properties in adhesives. Glass Transition (Tg): It has a very low Tg (approx. -70°C), which imparts softness and flexibility to polymers. UV Resistance: Offers good stability against sunlight and weathering in exterior coatings.

Storage & PackagingRecommendations: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Critical: Must be stored under air (not nitrogen) because the polymerization inhibitor (usually MEHQ) requires oxygen to function.Packaging: 180kg steel drums, IBCs, or stainless steel ISO tanks.
Product Stewardship2-EHA is toxic to aquatic life. Ensure spills are contained and prevented from entering waterways.
NOTEKeep storage temperatures below 35°C to prevent premature polymerization. The shelf life is typically 6 to 12 months when stored with adequate inhibitor levels.
NOTICEThis profile reflects industrial standards for 2026. Always refer to the Specific Manufacturer's SDS for precise technical limits and safety protocols.
Compliance & Standards

ISO 9001 (QMS), COA, MSDS/SDS, REACH (on request)

Classified as a Skin Irritant and Skin Sensitizer. It is combustible; vapors can form explosive mixtures with air at elevated temperatures.
