• 2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate, a colorless transparent liquid, is mainly
manufactured by methacrylic acid or methyl methacrylate reacting with 2-
ethylhexanol. Due to its outstanding performances, 2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate
is widely used in many industries, such as paints and coatings, adhesive and
sealants, fiber treatment agent industry and so on. Among those applications,
paints and coatings is the largest consumption field.
• According to its manufacturing process, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate can be got
from methacrylic acid esterification or methyl methacrylate
transesterification. Since price of methacrylic acid is higher than that of
methyl methacrylate, 2-EHMA manufacturers prefer to adopt methyl
methacrylate transesterification method to produce 2-EHMA.
