CAS 103-11-7: 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate
Description:2-Ethylhexyl acrylate is an organic compound classified as an acrylate ester, commonly used in the production of polymers and copolymers. It is characterized by its clear, colorless liquid form and has a characteristic acrylate odor. The compound features a long hydrophobic alkyl chain, which enhances its compatibility with various non-polar solvents and contributes to its properties as a plasticizer. 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate exhibits good adhesion, flexibility, and weather resistance, making it valuable in coatings, adhesives, and sealants. It has a relatively low volatility and a moderate boiling point, which aids in its stability during processing. Additionally, it is known for its ability to polymerize easily under UV light or heat, forming durable films. However, like many acrylates, it can be an irritant to the skin and eyes, necessitating appropriate safety measures during handling. Overall, 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate is a versatile monomer that plays a significant role in the formulation of various industrial products.
