Hydroxypropyl Acrylate(CAS: 25584-83-2)

Hydroxypropyl acrylate is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH2=CHCOOCH2CH(OH)CH3). It is a colorless to slightly yellow, viscous liquid with a characteristic odor. It is commonly used in the production of acrylic resins and adhesives, as well as in the formulation of coatings and inks.

Hydroxypropyl acrylate is primarily used in the manufacturing of acrylic resins, adhesives, andcoatings. It serves as a monomer in polymerization reactions to produce water-based paints, varnishes, and other coating materials. It is also used in the formulation of inks and as a raw material in the production of personal care products.

Hydroxypropyl acrylate is classified as a low-toxicity chemical. However, it is important to handle it with care to avoid skin contact and inhalation of vapors. Protective measures include wearing gloves, goggles, and a mask. It is advisable to work in a well-ventilated area and to follow all recommended safety guidelines as specified by the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Hydroxypropyl acrylate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It is best stored in tightly sealed containers to prevent exposure to air and moisture. The storage temperature should not exceed 30°C (86°F), and the relative humidity should be controlled below 75%. Avoid contact with incompatible materials like strong acids or bases.
