High-Purity 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (2-HEA) – Reactive Monomer for Adhesives, Coatings, Resins & Hydrophilic Polymers
We are a leading global supplier of 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (2-HEA), a versatile bifunctional monomer containing both a polymerizable acrylate group and a reactive hydroxyl group. This combination enables crosslinking, adhesion enhancement, and hydrophilic modification in a wide range of high-performance industrial and specialty polymer applications.
KEY APPLICATIONS FOR BULK BUYERS:
-
Adhesives & Sealants: Used in UV-curable adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), structural adhesives, and sealants to improve flexibility, adhesion, and cure speed.
-
Coatings & Inks: Essential monomer for radiation-curable (UV/EB) coatings, acrylic resins, waterborne paints, and printing inks, enhancing hardness, gloss, and chemical resistance.
-
Acrylic & Polyurethane Resins: Serves as a key building block in acrylic polyols for polyurethane coatings, elastomers, and dispersions, imparting weatherability and durability.
-
Hydrogels & Biomedical Polymers: Critical component in contact lens materials, wound dressings, drug delivery systems, and superabsorbent polymers due to its hydrophilicity and biocompatibility.
-
Textile & Leather Finishes: Used in fabric coatings, leather finishes, and textile binders to provide softness, durability, and water resistance.
-
Photopolymers & Electronics: Applied in photoresists, solder masks, and optical fiber coatings for electronics and optoelectronics manufacturing.
-
Personal Care & Cosmetic Polymers: Used in the synthesis of film-forming agents, hair fixatives, and nail polish resins.
