Increases hydrophilic properties of polymers when copolymerized into a range of acrylate and methacrylate systems. Has been used in hydrogel systems for ocular delivery of ophthalmic drugs. The homopolymer has been used as a novel adsorbed coating for protein separation by capillary electrophoresis.

2-hydroxypropyl acrylate will increase the hydrophilic properties of polymers when copolymerized into a range of acrylate and methacrylate systems. This monomer has been used in hydrogel polymers and in RAFT polymerizations.

This product is a mixture of isomers in the approximate ratio of: 75% 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 25% 1-methyl-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate.

Increases hydrophilic properties of polymers when copolymerized into a range of acrylate and methacrylate systems. Used in polymers for contact lenses and other ophthalmic devices.

Hydrophilic monomer.

2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is perhaps the most widely studied and used neutral hydrophilic monomer. The monomer is soluble, its homopolymer is water-insoluble but plasticized and swollen in water. This monomer is the basis for many hydrogel products such as soft contact lenses, as well as polymer binders for controlled drug release, absorbants for body fluids and lubricious coatings. As a comonomer with other ester monomers, HEMA can be used to control hydrophobicity or introduce reactive sites.

Difunctional molecule reactive in vinyl polymerization through its allylic group, to impart hydrophilic properties to aqueous solution or emulsion polymers. Hydroxypolyethoxy (10) Allyl Ether is a high purity material, clear, slightly viscous liquid (5 cps at 20°C) which undergoes partial solidification below 10°C to form a viscous paste. In particular, solution copolymers of Hydroxypolyethoxy (10) Allyl Ether with Acrylic acid have shown useful properties as dispersants and scale inhibitors in boiler water applications.
