2-Ethylhexyl acrylate is a water white liquid with a characteristic odor. It is readily polymerized and displays a range of properties dependent upon the selection of the monomer and reaction conditions. It is a stable product, with negligible solubility in water. Its main application segments include surface coatings, adhesives & sealants, plastic additives, detergents, and textiles, among others. The surface coating manufacturers are its largest consumers, having consumed over half of the global demand for 2-ethylhexyl acrylate in 2014.
The key player include Hexion Inc.(U.S.), Arkema SA (France), BASF SE (Germany), and Nippon Shokbai (Japan), among others.
