CAS #110489-05-9
Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA) is a hydrophilic monomer with the chemical formula C5H8O3. It is derived from acrylic acid and ethylene oxide and is commonly used as a functional monomer in the production of polymer and copolymer materials. HEA contains a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an acrylate group (-C=CH2), making it highly versatile in various industrial applications. This monomer is particularly valued for its ability to improve adhesion, flexibility, and crosslinking properties in polymer-based formulations.
