2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate | High-Purity Monomer for Coatings & Adhesives

2-Ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA) safety data encompasses critical information on hazards, protective measures, and emergency procedures, essential for safe handling in industrial settings. According to safety data sheets (SDS), 2EHA is a flammable liquid (flash point ~60°C) with a risk of ignition from heat, sparks, or open flames, requiring storage away from ignition sources. It is classified as an irritant: contact with skin or eyes can cause redness, itching, or burns, necessitating immediate flushing with water and medical attention if irritation persists. Inhalation of vapors may irritate the respiratory tract, leading to coughing or shortness of breath, requiring exposure to fresh air. Chronic exposure could cause systemic effects, though data is limited. 2EHA may undergo polymerization when exposed to heat or initiators, releasing heat and potentially causing container rupture, which is mitigated by adding inhibitors during production (as done by E Plus Chemical Co., Ltd.). Safety data specifies personal protective equipment (PPE): chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection for high vapor concentrations. Fire-fighting measures recommend using dry chemical, CO2, or foam extinguishers, with cool containers to prevent explosion. Spill response involves containing leaks with absorbents, avoiding runoff into waterways. E Plus Chemical provides detailed SDS for its 2EHA, ensuring compliance with global standards (GHS, OSHA) and enabling customers to implement safe handling practices.
