Description

2-[2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)Ethoxy]Ethyl Acrylate is a specialized acrylate monomer featuring a hydrophilic triethylene glycol monomethyl ether chain. This unique structure matters as it imparts water solubility, flexibility, and reactivity, making it a critical building block for advanced polymers. It is needed by formulators and manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product performance through tailored macromolecular design.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings & Inks: As a reactive diluent and crosslinker to formulate low-viscosity, flexible, and durable finishes for plastics, wood, and electronics.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): To modify tack, peel strength, and adhesion properties, particularly for applications requiring enhanced water compatibility.
• Hydrogel Synthesis: Serves as a key monomer for creating hydrophilic, cross-linked networks used in biomedical applications, contact lenses, and wound dressings.
• Polymer Modification: Used to graft hydrophilic side chains onto polymers, improving their solubility, biocompatibility, or anti-fouling characteristics.
• Personal Care Polymers: Employed in the synthesis of fixative resins for hairsprays and styling gels, as well as in film-forming agents for skincare.
• Fiber Optic Coatings: Contributes to the production of protective, flexible primary coatings for optical fibers.

Quality Control

Our production of 2-[2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)Ethoxy]Ethyl Acrylate adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC and monitoring of critical impurities like acrylic acid and hydroquinone inhibitors, to ensure consistency and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This product is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to maintain stability and prevent premature polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
