2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA) is a clear, colorless liquid monomer featuring both hydroxyl and acrylate functional groups. It is widely used in the production of specialty polymers and coatings due to its ability to copolymerize with other acrylates, providing enhanced adhesion, flexibility, and chemical resistance.

HEA is commonly utilized in adhesives, sealants, paints, inks, and UV-curable coatings, making it valuable for industries like automotive, construction, and electronics. Its reactive hydroxyl group also allows for further chemical modifications.
