  • Applications

    2-(Methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate (CAS 45103-58-0) is a reactive acrylate monomer commonly used as a reactive diluent and comonomer in UV-curable coatings, inks, and adhesives. Its PEG-like side chain imparts hydrophilicity and flexibility to cured networks, helping to improve film gloss, adhesion on challenging substrates, and resistance to cracking in thin coatings. It also serves as an intermediate for the synthesis of PEG-containing acrylates and copolymers, enabling tailored properties in specialty coatings and binder systems. In polymer science, it is used to form hydrophilic polymers and networks where controlled water uptake and mechanical performance are desired. Overall, use is governed by formulation goals and local regulations.
