Evonik 2-EHA 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate

Evonik’s REACTIVE MONOMERS series 2-EHA (2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate) is a low-viscosity, high-reactivity acrylate monomer widely used in pressure-sensitive adhesives, coatings, and polymer synthesis. It offers excellent UV stability, flexibility, and copolymerization efficiency with vinyl acetate, styrene, or other acrylic monomers—enabling durable, tacky, and weather-resistant formulations for industrial and specialty applications.

Features Of Evonik 2-EHA 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate

  1. High reactivity in free-radical polymerization processes for rapid cure and efficient resin synthesis.

  2. Excellent flexibility and low glass transition temperature (Tg ≈ −10 °C) imparted to acrylic copolymers.

  3. Superior hydrophobicity and water resistance in final polymer films and coatings.

  4. Low volatility and favorable handling characteristics compared to shorter-chain acrylates.

  5. Consistent high purity with controlled inhibitor levels (MEHQ) to ensure optimal storage stability and polymerization control.

Typical Applications Of Evonik 2-EHA 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate

  1. Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) for tapes, labels, and medical devices.

  2. Architectural and industrial waterborne acrylic emulsions for exterior paints and coatings.

  3. Textile and leather finishing binders providing wash-fastness and soft hand feel.

  4. UV-curable inks and overprint varnishes requiring flexibility and adhesion on diverse substrates.

  5. Specialty elastomeric sealants and caulks demanding elongation and weather resistance.
