2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (2-HEMA) (CAS 868-77-9)

What is 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (2-HEMA)

2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (2-HEMA) copolymerizes efficiently with a wide range of monomers, making it a highly versatile component in polymer formulations. The presence of hydroxyl groups significantly enhances performance by improving adhesion to various substrates, increasing hydrophilicity, and providing resistance to corrosion, fogging, and surface abrasion.

These hydroxyl functionalities also enable additional crosslinking, reduce odor and volatility, and minimize color instability during processing. As a result, HEMA is ideally suited for applications that demand strong interfacial bonding, durability, and long-term aesthetic stability.
