CAS: 25584-83-2
Hydroxypropyl acrylate- monomer is being
widely used for polymers and resins preparation. Also part of acrylate family
but has an extra hydroxyl FASS (compared to others acrylates) which boosts
reactivity and adhesive power. It is important as it is the key component that
improves durability, flexibility and chemical resistance for the host materials
with which it is embedded most notably in demanding scenarios.

Application in Plastic & Rubber
Hydroxypropyl Acrylate finds critical
applications in Plastic & Rubber industry especially for elastomers,
adhesives and coatings manufacturing. Hydroxyl group provides it with strong
adhesion to wide range of materials, making it an excellent component for
highly flexible, environment-resistant formulations. Additionally, HPA’s
ability to undergo UV curing is highly valued in processes requiring faster
polymerization and energy-efficient production.
Others Industries in which Hydroxypropyl Acrylate
Although Hydroxypropyl Acrylate has a lot
of applications in the Plastic & Rubber sector, it also has its uses in
other industries, such as:
● Coatings (CASE): complements the protective
coatings, where it improves chemical resistance and adhesion.
● Oil & Gas: Used in coatings for pipelines and
equipment because of its ambient resistance.
● HI&I (Household, Industrial &
Institutional): In the formulation of
high-performance adhesives and sealers
● Lubricants & Greases: Adds stability and
performance to lubricant additives, improving heat resistance and longevity.
