2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate

Description:
2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is a colorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in the production of polymers and as a monomer in various applications, including adhesives, coatings, and dental materials. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methacrylate group, which contribute to its reactivity and ability to undergo polymerization. HEMA is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for different formulations. Its chemical structure allows for the formation of cross-linked networks, enhancing the mechanical properties of the resulting materials. Additionally, HEMA is known for its biocompatibility, which is particularly valuable in medical and dental applications. However, it can cause skin and eye irritation, necessitating proper handling and safety precautions. The substance is typically stored in a cool, dry place, away from light and incompatible materials, to maintain its stability and prevent polymerization during storage. Overall, HEMA is an important compound in the field of polymer chemistry and material science.
