2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate

1. Low Melting Point:With a melting point of –70 °C, it remains fluid under low-temperature conditions, offering versatility in various environments.

2. Versatile Solubility:Miscible with water and soluble in many organic solvents, making it ideal for diverse industrial and chemical applications.

3. Polymerization Control:Contains 400 ppm of inhibitor (hydroquinone monomethyl ether), which prevents unwanted polymerization during storage and handling.

4. Stable and Safe:Exhibits a relatively high flash point (104 °C) and low vapor pressure, ensuring safer handling and storage under normal conditions.

Product Details

This product is a colorless liquid with a low melting point of –70 °C. Its boiling point varies between 90–92 °C at 1.6 kPa and 74–75 °C at 667 Pa, depending on the ambient pressure. The liquid has a relative density of 1.1098 at 20/4 °C and a refractive index of 1.4, indicating its optical properties. Its open-cup flash point is 104 °C, meaning it is relatively safe in terms of flammability under normal conditions. With a viscosity of 5.34 mPa·s at 25 °C, it is fluid and flows easily, making it suitable for various applications where fluidity is important.

The product is miscible with water and also soluble in a wide range of common organic solvents, giving it significant versatility in industrial formulations and processes. The presence of 400 ppm of the inhibitor hydroquinone monomethyl ether helps prevent polymerization, which might otherwise occur under certain conditions, thereby ensuring stability during storage and handling. This makes it highly reliable for use in various chemical, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing processes where polymerization control is required.
