Description
2-Ethylhexyl acrylate (CAS 103-11-7) is an acrylic ester monomer commercially known as EHA, 2EHA, Jr 910, NSC 4803, and E 108592. It is registered under EC 203-080-7 and classified within the monomers and building blocks category for industrial chemical supply.
In pressure-sensitive adhesives, EHA acts as a soft monomer that lowers glass transition temperature, delivering the tack and flexibility required for label and tape formulations. In acrylic coatings, it copolymerizes with harder monomers to balance film formation and elongation. Personal care formulators also incorporate it as an emollient and film-forming agent in skin-contact products.
EHA is supplied in standard industrial grades and is subject to REACH registration requirements for EU market compliance. It carries the E-code E 108592 for identification within regulated supply chains. Typical packaging includes drums and IBC containers, with documentation available to support procurement and formulation compliance workflows.
