EHMA
2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate
2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate (EHMA) is a versatile methacrylic acid ester monomer characterized by its low volatility and hydrophobic properties. 2-EHMA is widely used as a co-monomer to impart flexibility, water resistance, and superior weatherability to polymers used in coatings, adhesives, and resin modifiers. Made in JAPAN.
