  • Applications

    2-Carboxyethyl acrylate (CAS 24615-84-7) is commonly used as a functional monomer to introduce carboxyl groups into polyacrylate systems via copolymerization, enabling hydrophilic polymers and hydrogel-forming networks. In industry, it serves as a copolymerizable component in coatings and inks (including UV-curable and waterborne formulations) to improve adhesion and formulation flexibility; as part of adhesives to enhance bonding performance and moisture compatibility; as a building block for functional polyacrylates in electronics-related materials such as photoresists and surface-modifying films; and as a source for hydrophilic polymer networks in plastics. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
