2-Ethylhexyl acrylate

2-Ethylhexyl acrylate by Hexion is a transparent, colorless, clear liquid. It can be copolymerized for instance with acrylic acid and its salts, esters and acrylamide, with methacrylic acid, methacrylates, acrylonitrile, styrene, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters etc. In order to prevent spontaneous polymerization, 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate must always be stored under air, never under inert gases. It is primarily used for manufacturing homopolymers and copolymers. It is an important raw material for many chemical syntheses. It is also used in adhesives applications.
