Product description

Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is derived from the reaction of ethylene oxide and methacrylic acid, often referred to as HEMA, and is used in the plastics industry to produce acrylic resins containing active hydroxyl groups.

Product Usage

Mainly used for the modification of resins and coatings. Copolymerization with other acrylic monomers can produce acrylic resins with active hydroxyl groups in the side chains, which can undergo esterification and cross-linking reactions, synthesize insoluble resins and improve adhesion, and can be used as fiber treatment agents, etc. It reacts with melamine-formaldehyde (or urea-formaldehyde) resin, epoxy resin, etc. to make two-component coatings. Adding to the high-end car paint can maintain the mirror gloss for a long time. It can also be used as an adhesive for synthetic textiles and medical polymer monomers.

Used in the production of coatings, resins for automotive topcoats and primers. It can also be applied to photopolymer resins, printing plates, inks, gels (contact lenses) and tinting material coatings, transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and optical microscopes ( LM) Embedding reagent, specially used for hydration samples of "sensitive antigen sites". White watery, viscous, thinner than water, and easier to penetrate than any resin and monomer. It is especially used to work on bones, cartilage and hard-to-penetrate plant tissues.

The plastics industry is used to manufacture acrylic resins containing active hydroxyl groups. Coating industry and epoxy resin, diisocyanate, melamine formaldehyde resin and other configurations are used to prepare two-component coatings. The oil industry is used as an additive for lubricating oil washing. In the electronics industry, it is used as a dehydration tool for electron microscopes. The textile industry is used to make adhesives for fabrics. Used as a chemical reagent in analytical chemistry. In addition, it is also used as a water-miscible embedding agent for the synthesis of medical polymer materials, thermosetting coatings and adhesives, etc.
