Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA) is a clear, colourless liquid with a mild, characteristic odour. This highly reactive monomer is fully miscible with water as well as a wide range of common organic solvents, including alcohols, ethers, and esters.
What is 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA)
2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA) is a clear, colorless, and low-viscosity liquid known for its high reactivity and dual functionality. Chemically classified as a hydroxy-functional acrylate monomer, HEA combines an acrylate group and a hydroxyl group within a single molecule. This unique structure allows it to undergo free-radical polymerization while also participating in hydrogen bonding and crosslinking reactions.
HEA is fully miscible with water and a broad range of organic solvents, including alcohols, ketones, ethers, and esters. It exhibits a faint but noticeable acrylate odor and maintains stability under proper storage conditions.
