Monomer Series

2-Ethylhexyl acrylate mostly used as co-monomer when forms copolymer but also can be forms homopolymer. Copolymers can be prepared with acrylic acid and its salts, amides and esters, with methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturates polyesters and drying oils, etc.

2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate has some features :

• Readily polymerized.
• Provide a range of properties depend on the selection of the monomer and reaction conditions.
• Have good water resistance, low temperature flexibility and excellent weathering and sunlight resistance in paint formulation.

Application as monomer for polymerization :

• Plastic products, protective coating, paper treatments.
• Water-soluble paints, coating materials, printing inks, cross-linking agent.
• Coatings for textiles and leather finishing.
