2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate (2-EHMA)
2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate (2-EHMA) is an acrylate or methacrylate chemical supplied as a polymerisation or formulation input.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate (2-EHMA), is a main methacrylic ester and polymerizable monomer.
2-EHMA is produced for the use as a building block to make a wide range of polymer based products that we see and use every day from paints and coatings, toners and inks, oil additives to dental and medical products to name but a few. 2-EHMA is of low concern to human health and the environment. It is classified as hazardous (skin irritant and sensitizing) but has been handled safely by industry and professionals for over 60 years.
The functional groups, inhibitor content, assay and supplied formulation define the input. A monomer or reactive ingredient is distinct from the cured coating, adhesive or polymer produced using it.
The commercial boundary
Use the selected edition’s stated product level, geography, years and measurement basis. Materials, components, finished systems and services are separate commercial boundaries unless that edition explicitly combines them.
Which functional composition and supplied formulation define the ingredient?
The functional groups, inhibitor content, assay and supplied formulation define the input. A monomer or reactive ingredient is distinct from the cured coating, adhesive or polymer produced using it.
