2-Methoxyethyl Acrylate
2-Methoxyethyl Acrylate (CAS 3121-61-7) is a versatile acrylate monomer with formula C6H10O3 and molecular weight 130.14 g/mol. Often abbreviated as MEA, it contains an ether-functional side chain that imparts flexibility, improved adhesion to polar substrates and good low-temperature performance in copolymers. Common uses include adhesives, coatings, sealants, and as a reactive diluent in UV or thermal cure systems. Its solvent-like side chain facilitates miscibility with polar monomers and polymers.
