Features Of Dow HEMA Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate

  1. High-purity monomer with low inhibitor residue for consistent polymerization performance.

  2. Reactive hydroxyl group enables covalent bonding in crosslinked acrylic systems.

  3. Excellent water miscibility and solubility in common organic solvents (e.g., acetone, ethanol, ethyl acetate).

  4. Low volatility and favorable handling characteristics compared to other reactive diluents.

  5. Enables enhanced adhesion, flexibility, and hydrophilicity in final polymer films.

Typical Applications Of Dow HEMA Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate

  1. Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) for medical tapes and transdermal patches.

  2. Waterborne and solvent-borne acrylic coatings for architectural and industrial finishes.

  3. Photocurable inks, coatings, and 3D printing resins requiring rapid UV/EB cure response.

  4. Functional monomers in dental composites and biomedical hydrogels.

  5. Emulsion polymers for textile finishing agents and paper coating binders.
