Global 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate, 2HEMA Market 2017 - Evonik, MRC, Jurong Chemical, Dow, Shanghai Huayi, MGC, Nippon Shokubai, Wuxi Yangshi Sanlian, Changzhou Hickory
2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (CAS#: 868-77-9) is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent, sweet odor. The product contains low levels of a polymerization inhibitor along with small amounts of methacrylic acid and ethylene oxide. The polymer is hydrophobic; however, when the polymer is subjected to water it will swell due to the molecule's hydrophilic pendant group. Depending on the physical and chemical structure of the polymer, it is capable of absorbing from 10 to 600% water relative to the dry weight.
