2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylate

2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylate is a reactive acrylate monomer for the production of coatings, adhesives, synthetic resins, and UV-curing systems. Due to the combination of a methacrylate group and a hydroxyl group, this raw material is widely applicable in formulations where good adhesion, crosslinking, and chemical functionality are required.

This monomer has a low to medium viscosity and mixes well with various acrylates, methacrylates, and other reactive thinners. The hydroxyl functionality supports further reaction with isocyanates, anhydrides, and resin components, among others. As a result, 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylate is suitable for systems where a controlled build-up of mechanical properties and chemical resistance is desired.

In industrial applications, 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylate is used to influence the flexibility, adhesion, and surface properties of finished products. It is relevant for manufacturers of coatings, composites, printing inks, and specialty polymers seeking a functional acrylate with good processability. Rodun International supplies 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylate for B2B applications where consistent quality and reliable supply are important.
