Description
1. Chemical properties and classification
2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate， 2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate, abbreviated as 2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate, is an important acrylic monomer and belongs to functional acrylic esters. Its chemical formula is C ₅ H ₈ O ∝, molecular weight is 116.12, and CAS number is 818-61-1. The molecular structure contains both an active carbon carbon double bond (- C=C -) and a primary hydroxyl group (- OH), which endows it with extremely high reactivity and wide application value.
2. Physical characteristics and morphology
At room temperature, 2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate is a colorless and transparent liquid with a mild sweet taste. Its melting point is -60 ° C, and its boiling point varies between 90 ° C and 215 ° C depending on the testing conditions. Its flash point is approximately 101 ° C. This compound can be mixed with water and various organic solvents at will. It should be noted that the monomer is sensitive to light and heat, and a polymerization inhibitor must be added during storage to prevent spontaneous polymerization.
3. Industry positioning and synthesis background
2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate is one of the most representative products among special acrylic esters. In industry, it is mainly produced through the ring opening addition reaction of acrylic acid and ethylene oxide in the presence of a catalyst. As a high-performance monomer, it occupies a core position in the synthesis of polymer materials and is mainly used as a key raw material for the production of acrylic resins, adhesives, coatings, and radiation cured materials. It can significantly improve the adhesion, water resistance, and crosslinking density of materials.

The application of 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate
The main uses of 2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate
2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate, with its unique dual functional group structure (carbon carbon double bond and hydroxyl group), has become an extremely important functional monomer in the field of polymer synthesis.
Radiation curing and coating industry
2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate is one of the most widely used reactive diluents in UV curable coatings, inks, and adhesive systems. The carbon carbon double bonds in its molecules can quickly participate in polymerization reactions under ultraviolet light irradiation, while hydroxyl groups can enhance the adhesion between the coating and the substrate and serve as reaction sites for further crosslinking. In electronic chemicals such as photo imaging solder mask ink, it is used to modify resins to improve photo curing speed and coating performance.
Adhesives and elastomers
In the field of adhesives, 2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate can copolymerize with other vinyl monomers, introduce polar hydroxyl groups, and significantly enhance the adhesive strength of adhesives to polar substrates such as metals and glass. In the rubber industry, it is used as a modifier for acrylic rubber to improve its heat and oil resistance by introducing cross-linking points, and is used to manufacture high-performance seals and rubber hoses.
Polymer modification
In the plastic industry, 2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate, as a comonomer, can effectively improve the anti-static and weather resistance of general plastics such as polyvinyl chloride. In the field of fiber processing, it copolymerizes with monomers such as acrylonitrile and vinyl chloride to improve the water resistance, wrinkle resistance, and dyeing performance of synthetic fibers, which are used in the production of high-end clothing fabrics.
Synthesis of special polymers
Based on its good hydrophilicity and biocompatibility, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate is a key monomer for the synthesis of hydrogels and contact lens materials. In addition, it is also used in the production of high value-added fine chemicals such as paper reinforcement agents, lubricant additives, and thickeners for wastewater treatment in the paper industry.
The use of 2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate fully demonstrates the core value of functional monomers in modern polymer industry. It is not only a key component to realize UV curing technology, but also a functional auxiliary to improve the performance of adhesives, coatings and rubber, and also a basic raw material for manufacturing high-end medical materials such as hydrogels. This dual functional monomer plays a molecular cornerstone role in building high-performance materials on a broad stage from traditional plastic modification to cutting-edge biomaterials.
