30% grade (with xylene): Flammable, moderate fire risk. | [Chemical Properties]
colourless liquid | [Uses]
2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is the methacrylic monomer for use in UV inks, adhesives, lacquers, dental materials, artificial nails, etc. | [Uses]
2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is used for preparation of hydrophilic polymers for biomedical devices.
| [Definition]
2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is an enoate ester that is the monomethacryloyl derivative of ethylene glycol.
| [General Description]
2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is biocompatible in nature. Polymeric hydrogel scaffold can be produced by polymerizing HEMA in water. | [Purification Methods]
Dissolve the ester in water and extract with n-heptane to remove ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (checked by gas-liquid chromatography and by NMR) and distil it twice under reduced pressure [Strop et al. J Phys Chem 80 694 1976]. [Beilstein 2 IV 1530.] |
