Description

2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)Ethyl Acrylate is a high-purity, reactive acrylate monomer featuring a flexible ethoxyethoxy side chain. This unique structure is critical for imparting enhanced flexibility, adhesion, and low-temperature properties to polymer formulations. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty polymer industries seeking to develop high-performance, durable products.

Application

• UV-Curable Coatings and Inks: A key monomer for formulating low-viscosity, fast-curing coatings with excellent flexibility and adhesion on plastics and metals.
• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Used to synthesize acrylic polymers that provide a balance of tack, peel strength, and shear resistance.
• Acrylic Resin Modification: Incorporated as a co-monomer to improve the low-temperature flexibility, impact resistance, and weatherability of acrylic resins.
• Crosslinking Agent: Serves as a reactive diluent and crosslinker in radiation-curable systems for wood, plastic, and metal finishes.
• Specialty Elastomers and Sealants: Imparts permanent flexibility and durability to elastomeric compounds and sealants.
• Fiber Optic Coatings: Used in formulations for primary and secondary coatings where flexibility and environmental protection are paramount.

Quality Control

Our 2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)Ethyl Acrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and assay, to ensure it meets precise specifications for reactive monomer applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. To prevent polymerization, ensure the product is stored with appropriate inhibitor levels and away from sources of free radicals or strong initiators.
