Hydroxypropyl acrylate (HPA) is a clear, colourless liquid. It is a versatile difunctional acrylate monomer known for its characteristic high reactivity.
What is 2-Hydroxypropyl Acrylate (HPA)
2-Hydroxypropyl Acrylate (2-HPA) is a versatile, monofunctional acrylate monomer produced by the esterification of acrylic acid with 1,2-propanediol. It combines the high reactivity typical of acrylates with a hydrophilic hydroxyl group and a branched hydrophobic moiety, offering a unique balance of properties in polymer formulations.
2-HPA is widely used as a reactive building block in the synthesis of both homopolymers and copolymers. Its functionality makes it particularly suitable for applications in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE), as well as in UV-curable systems and high-performance resins. The hydroxyl group also allows for further chemical modifications, enhancing adhesion, flexibility, and crosslinking potential.
Whether used on its own or in combination with other monomers, 2-HPA contributes to improved performance characteristics such as chemical resistance, durability, and adhesion.
