Features Of Evonik EHMA 2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate

  1. Low volatility and high boiling point for improved process safety and reduced monomer loss during polymerization.

  2. Excellent hydrophobicity and flexibility imparted to acrylic copolymers, enhancing water resistance and film toughness.

  3. High reactivity in free-radical polymerization, enabling efficient incorporation into acrylic resins and emulsions.

  4. Low glass transition temperature (Tg ≈ –25 °C) of homopolymer, contributing softness and low-temperature performance to final polymers.

  5. Stabilized with inhibitor (MEHQ) to ensure safe storage and handling while maintaining shelf life.

Typical Applications Of Evonik EHMA 2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate

  1. Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) for tapes, labels, and medical devices requiring high tack and peel adhesion.

  2. Architectural and industrial waterborne acrylic emulsions for exterior paints and coatings demanding weather resistance and scrub resistance.

  3. Plasticized acrylic binders in textile and paper coatings, improving flexibility and wash-fastness.

  4. Impact modifiers and reactive diluents in UV-curable coatings and inks for enhanced crosslink density and surface hardness.
