2-Hydroxypropyl methacrylate is a hydrophilic monomer derived from methacrylic acid, widely used in the synthesis of hydrogels, adhesives, and coatings for its water-absorbing and polymerizable properties. Industrially, it also serves as a comonomer in thermoset acrylic coating resins, laminating resins and elastomers, and as a monomer for nonwoven fabric binders and detergent lubricating oil additives. It is also employed in dental composites and contact lens materials for its biocompatibility and reactive functionality. This chemical has a CAS number of 27813-02-1, with the molecular formula C7H12O3 and a molecular weight of 144.17 g/mol. It must be stored between 2 to 8°C and carries a signal word of "Warning" due to its moderate hazard profile. Molekula supplies 2-Hydroxypropyl methacrylate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
