2-Ethylhexyl Cyanoacrylate

 
 
 

This is a non-lachrymatory, liquid cyanoacrylate with little odour. It is hydrophobic and features as an excellent solvent for formulation components including thickeners, tougheners and accelerators enabling fast dissolution even without subjecting the monomer to temperature. Thixotropic agents may be easily dispersed in this monomer.

Physical Properties: 

MW: 209 g/mol Molecular Formula: C12H19NO2 Mp: Bp: 75-78°C at <0,5 mbar

Description: 

This monomer has featured several times in the patent literature. One early mention appears in US3260637 (Eastman Kodak Co.) {Example 15} where is achieves high bond strength in the assembly of metal parts after activation with a primer. Related acrylates are basic building blocks in a wide variety of polymeric products especially as internal plasticisers and in coatings and paints.
