About this product
2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA, CAS 103-11-7) is an inhibited acrylate monomer — the acrylic acid ester of 2-ethylhexanol — that adhesive, coatings, and polymer producers use as a soft, flexible comonomer. We stock technical-grade material at 99.5% min purity (by GC) with 15–20 ppm MEHQ inhibitor, packed in drums at our Redhills, Chennai warehouse. Dispatch across South India; the TDS and MSDS are both available for download.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA) used for?
2-EHA is a reactive acrylate monomer — the acrylic acid ester of 2-ethylhexanol — that is polymerised into acrylic copolymers. Its main end-uses are pressure-sensitive adhesives, acrylic emulsions for paints and coatings, and sealants, where it adds softness and flexibility to the finished polymer. We supply it as an inhibited, technical-grade monomer in drums.
What is the CAS number and HSN code of 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate?
The CAS number is 103-11-7 and the HSN code is 2916 12 90. 2-EHA is the standard abbreviation for 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate; its IUPAC name is 2-ethylhexyl prop-2-enoate.
What specification does Supreme Petro Chemicals supply 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate to?
We supply inhibited technical-grade monomer at 99.5% min purity by GC, colour 10 max on the Pt-Co (APHA) scale, specific gravity 0.880–0.886 at 20 °C, boiling range 213–216 °C, water content 0.05% max (Karl Fischer), and acidity (as acrylic acid) 0.01% max. The monomer carries 15–20 ppm MEHQ inhibitor, with peroxides 10 ppm max as H₂O₂. The full manufacturer-backed TDS is downloadable on this page.
How should 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate be stored?
Store cool — below 25 °C — away from heat, sparks, and oxidisers, and always with an air headspace in the container. The MEHQ inhibitor needs oxygen to stay active, so never store the monomer fully oxygen-free: oxygen exclusion risks runaway polymerisation.
What is the difference between 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate and 2-Ethylhexyl Acetate?
They are different chemicals. 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (CAS 103-11-7) is a reactive, MEHQ-inhibited monomer that polymerises into acrylic resins, with a boiling range of 213–216 °C. 2-Ethylhexyl Acetate (CAS 103-09-3) is a separate ester we also stock — check the CAS number on your requirement before ordering.
Who supplies 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate in Chennai?
