Description

2-[2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)Ethoxy]Ethyl Acrylate is a specialized acrylate ester monomer featuring a triethylene glycol monoethyl ether chain. This unique structure imparts valuable properties such as enhanced hydrophilicity, flexibility, and reactivity, making it a critical building block for advanced polymer synthesis. It is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty materials sectors seeking to modify polymer properties for specific performance requirements.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings and Inks: As a reactive diluent and crosslinker to formulate low-viscosity, high-performance coatings with excellent adhesion and flexibility.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): To introduce polar groups and improve tack, peel strength, and compatibility with various substrates.
• Acrylic Polymer Modification: For synthesizing custom acrylic resins with tailored hydrophilicity, Tg (glass transition temperature), and solubility profiles.
• Hydrogel and Biomedical Materials: As a co-monomer in the production of hydrophilic networks for contact lenses, wound dressings, and drug delivery systems.
• Fiber Optic Coatings: In the formulation of primary and secondary coatings to protect optical fibers, offering a balance of mechanical protection and application properties.
• Lithographic Printing Plates: As a key component in photopolymerizable compositions for high-resolution plate production.

Quality Control

Our 2-[2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)Ethoxy]Ethyl Acrylate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity verification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications for polymerization-grade monomers. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to the presence of a polymerization inhibitor, monitor storage time and temperature to maintain optimal product stability.
