Is 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate the same as n-Butyl Acrylate?

No. They are different acrylic monomers. Although both may be used in related polymer markets, the selected monomer and ratio should follow the intended copolymer design rather than a name-based substitution.

What is the industrial role of 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate?

It is used at the polymer-manufacturing stage for acrylic dispersions and binders used in adhesive, coating and sealant systems. The actual role depends on the co-monomers, process conditions and required polymer properties.

Which 2-EHA points should be agreed before production use?

Confirm assay, water, inhibitor type or level, packing and the expected storage period. Review the offered batch COA against the agreed specification before the monomer is introduced into the production process.

2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA) CAS 103-11-7

2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA), CAS 103-11-7, also known as acrylic acid 2-ethylhexyl ester, is an acrylic monomer for polymer dispersions used in industrial adhesives, waterborne coatings and sealant systems. n-Butyl Acrylate is a related acrylic comonomer for copolymer selection. The selected monomer ratio, co-monomers and inhibitor condition must match the planned polymer design. COA, TDS and SDS are available for the offered batch; assay, water, inhibitor and packing are confirmed for the intended process.

3 Order Specification and Documentation

Product Introduction

2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA) (CAS 103-11-7) is a stabilized acrylic ester monomer for homo- and copolymer manufacture. The listed material is used in pressure-sensitive adhesive and coating-resin production where 2-EHA is the specified soft-monomer component; it is a reactive input, not a finished resin, dispersion or adhesive.

Applications

Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives and tape polymers
Waterborne acrylic dispersions for coatings and binders
Industrial coating, sealant and elastomer-modified copolymer systems
Solution, emulsion and bulk polymerization routes using 2-EHA as a named comonomer

Order Specification and Documentation

A 2-EHA order is matched to the polymerization route and the agreed monomer assay, inhibitor system, colour, water and acid-value limits. The selected package and quantity are confirmed for the required handling schedule. A batch COA, with the applicable TDS and SDS, accompanies the quoted 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate grade.

For other acrylic monomer pages used in coating, adhesive and polymer systems, review 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate, Ethyl Acrylate, and n-Butyl Acrylate.
