2EHA High-Purity Acrylate Monomer | 50,000 Tons Annual Capacity

2-Ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA) is a key monomer in adhesives, particularly water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), where it enhances critical properties such as tack, peel strength, and flexibility. Its chemical structure—featuring a reactive acrylate group and a branched 2-ethylhexyl chain—enables copolymerization with other monomers (like methyl acrylate or acrylic acid), forming polymers that balance adhesion and cohesion. The 2-ethylhexyl chain contributes low glass transition temperature (Tg) and hydrophobicity, allowing adhesives to maintain flexibility across temperature ranges, from cold storage to high-heat environments, and resist moisture, ensuring durability in humid conditions. In packaging tapes, 2EHA-based adhesives provide strong initial tack for secure sealing, while in medical tapes, they offer gentle peel to avoid skin irritation. E Plus Chemical Co., Ltd. supplies 2EHA with 99% purity—produced via advanced catalytic polymerization—to adhesive manufacturers, ensuring consistent performance and minimizing impurities that could disrupt formulation stability. The company’s 50,000-ton annual capacity supports large-scale adhesive production, and its technical support helps optimize monomer ratios for specific applications, such as high-tack industrial adhesives or repositionable labels. By integrating 2EHA into their formulations, adhesive manufacturers achieve reliable, high-performance products that meet diverse industry needs, from consumer goods to medical devices.
