Applications 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate forms homopolymers and copolymers. Copolymers of

2-Ethylhexyl acrylate can be prepared with acrylic acid and its salts, amides
and esters, and with methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl
acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated
polyesters and drying oils, etc. 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate is also a very useful
feedstock for chemical syntheses, because it readily undergoes addition
reactions with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds.
Storage & Handling In order to prevent polymerization, 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate must always be
stored under air, and never under inert gases. The presence of oxygen is
required for the stabilizer to function effectively. It has to contain a stabilizer
and the storage temperature must not exceed 35 °C. For extended storage
periods over 4 weeks it is advisable to replenish the dissolved oxygen
content. Under these conditions, a storage stability of one year can be
expected. In order to minimize the likelihood of overstorage, the storage
procedure should strictly follow the “first-in-first-out” principle.
Storage tanks and pipes should be made of stainless steel or aluminium.

Although 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate does not corrode carbon steel, there is a risk
of contamination if corrosion does occur.
Storage tanks, pumps and pipes must be earthed. For more detailed infor-
mation please consult also the brochure “SAFE HANDLING AND STORAGE
OF ACRYLIC ESTERS” of EBAM.
Safety A Material Safety Data Sheet has been compiled for 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate
that contains up-to-date information on all questions relevant to safety.
