CAS#: 868-77-9
Synonyms: Hydroxyethyl methacrylate, HEMA
2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (HEMA) is a clear, low-volatility monomer featuring hydroxyl functionality that enhances adhesion, cross-linking, and chemical resistance in polymer systems. It is widely used in dental materials, coatings, adhesives, and ophthalmic applications, providing improved mechanical performance and durability.
Key Features:
Provides hydroxyl functionality for cross-linking and adhesion
Enhances mechanical properties and chemical resistance
Low volatility for safe handling and processing
Compatible with other acrylate and methacrylate monomers for copolymerization
Suitable for UV/EB-curable, solventborne, and thermoset systems
Applications:
Dental resins and restorative materials
Industrial and specialty coatings
Structural and pressure-sensitive adhesives
Contact lenses and ophthalmic polymer systems
High-performance acrylic and methacrylic resins
