Oxydi-2,1-ethanediyl bisacrylate(CAS: 4074-88-8)

Oxydi-2,1-ethanediyl bisacrylate, also known as ethylene glycol diacrylate (EGDA), is a monomer with the CAS number 4074-88-8. It is an acrylate ester used in the production of polymers and resins, characterized by its flexibility and transparency.

Oxydi-2,1-ethanediyl bisacrylate is primarily used in the manufacturing of adhesives, coatings, and inks. It is also utilized in the production of pressure-sensitive adhesives and as a crosslinker in photopolymerizable systems.

Oxydi-2,1-ethanediyl bisacrylate is generally considered safe when used according to safety guidelines. However, it is important to handle it with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) due to its potential irritancy and flammability. Ensure proper ventilation and avoid inhalation of vapors.

Oxydi-2,1-ethanediyl bisacrylate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Store in a tightly sealed container to prevent exposure to air. It should be kept at room temperature and not exposed to temperatures above 30°C (86°F) to minimize degradation.
