2 hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA, CAS: 818-61-1) is a colorless, low-viscosity liquid monomer characterized by its dual functional groups: a reactive vinyl group and a hydroxyethyl moiety. This structural duality enables it to copolymerize with acrylates, methacrylates, and other vinyl monomers, imparting excellent hydrophilicity, adhesion, and flexibility to the resulting polymers.
The global demand for 2 hydroxyethyl acrylate has witnessed substantial growth in the last decade, driven by trends in waterborne coatings, UV-curable resins, advanced adhesives, and biomedical hydrogels. According to MarketsandMarkets Research, the HEA market was valued at USD 714 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2023 to 2028.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions
A: The main difference is the hydroxyalkyl side chain; HEA has a two-carbon hydroxyethyl group, while HPA has a three-carbon hydroxypropyl group. This changes hydrophilicity, reactivity, and glass transition temperature properties—HEA generally provides higher crosslink density, making it ideal for coatings and hydrogels.
A: Products should comply with FDA 21 CFR 177, ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), and be free from toxic impurities such as ethylene oxide residue. Always request a Certificate of Analysis and biocompatibility report.
A: Typically, 12 months from date of manufacture in sealed, UV-protected container111s, stored at 5–25°C. Nitrogen blanketing and inhibitor content (>180 ppm MEHQ) are essential to prevent spontaneous polymerization.
A: Most 2 hydroxyethyl acrylate is stabilized with 180–220 ppm MEHQ (monomethyl ether hydroquinone). For UV applications, ensure ≤50 ppm for higher reactivity; for bulk storage, 200 ppm is safer. Always specify during procurement.
A: Only if the final polymer is fully cured and tested to ANSI/NSF 61. Raw HEA is corrosive and not suitable for potable water systems. Confirm with supplier test data before deployment.
A: Viscosity of HEA is about 7 mPa·s at 25°C—low enough for easy handling and rapid mixing in resin blends. Low viscosity favors fast diffusion in UV/EB formulations and high composite uniformity.
A: CAS 818 61 1 supplied by certified companies usually comes with ISO 9001/14001, REACH, RoHS, GMP (for pharma grades), and can be supplied with SGS or Bureau Veritas inspection.
