2-Methoxyethyl acrylate Usage And Synthesis

Description

2-Methoxyethyl Acrylate (MTA) is a specialty monomer for synthesizing specific polymers in the coatings, paint, adhesive, and plastic market segments. Polymers containing MTA have improved bendability, flexibility at lower temperatures, UV resistance, water resistance, and adhesion. It improves oil resistance due to its polarity when used as an additive.

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid

Uses

2-Methoxyethyl acrylate can undergo RAFT copolymerization with itaconic anhydride.

General Description

Clear colorless liquid with a sharp musty odor.

Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

2-Methoxyethyl acrylate is sensitive to heat and light. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and polymerization initiators .

Fire Hazard

2-Methoxyethyl acrylate is combustible.

Flammability and Explosibility

Flammable

Safety Profile

Poison by skin contact. Moderately toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Experimental reproductive effects. A skin irritant. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidlzing materials. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also GLYCOL ETHERS.
