2-Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate

2-Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate (HPMA) – Reactive Monomer for Advanced Coatings, Adhesives & Hydrogels

We supply high-purity 2-Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate (HPMA), a versatile hydroxyl-functional monomer. This compound features a reactive methacrylate group and a pendant hydroxyl group. Consequently, polymer chemists actively use it to introduce crosslinking sites and enhance adhesion in advanced formulations. Moreover, its unique structure makes it indispensable for creating high-performance materials in several key industries.

Core Industrial Applications and Uses

This bifunctional monomer serves as a critical building block for innovative polymers and specialty chemicals. Its applications are central to developing next-generation materials.

First, the coatings and inks industry relies on HPMA as a key modifier for radiation-curable systems. It significantly improves adhesion to various substrates and increases the crosslink density of UV-cured films. Therefore, manufacturers use it in high-performance wood, plastic, and metal coatings where durability and chemical resistance are paramount.

Second, adhesive and sealant formulators utilize 2-Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate HPMA to enhance bond strength and flexibility. The hydroxyl group allows for reaction with isocyanates in polyurethane adhesives, creating tougher, more durable bonds. Furthermore, it is essential in acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and structural adhesives for automotive and construction.

Third, the biomedical and personal care sectors employ HPMA for manufacturing hydrogels and contact lenses. Its hydrophilic nature and biocompatibility make it ideal for soft, water-containing polymers. Additionally, it is a crucial monomer for producing superabsorbent polymers, dental materials, and drug delivery systems.
