2-Ethylhexyl acrylate is a colorless liquid acrylate with a pleasant odor, used in the making of paints, plastics and adhesives.
- One of the major base monomers used in the manufacture of copolymers for adhesives & sealants, paint & coatings, printing inks, superabsorbent polymers, and a myriad of other application areas.
- A unique building block for copolymers, contributing low temperature flexibility and performance, hydrophobicity and water resistance, good weathering characteristics and UV (sunlight) resistance.
- contributes to clarity, toughness, light & weather resistance, and chemical resistance, manufacturers can use acrylic copolymers containing 2-EHA in interior, exterior, basecoat and topcoat paint & coating formulations, and other related products.
- Used as a plasticizer material for surface coatings, film, sheeting, and pressure-sensitive adhesives and tapes
