2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate forms homo- and copolymers. Copolymers of 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate can be prepared with acrylic acid and its salts, amides and esters, methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleates, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters, and drying oils. 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate is also an important feedstock for chemical syntheses because it readily undergoes addition reactions with many organic and inorganic compounds.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- In order to prevent polymerization, 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate must always be stored under air, and never under inert gasses. The presence of oxygen is required for the stabilizer to function effectively. It has to contain a stabilizer and the storage temperature must not exceed 35 °C. Under these conditions, a storage stability of one year can be expected upon delivery. In order to minimize the likelihood over storage, the storage procedure should strictly follow the “first-in-first-out” principle. For extended storage periods over 4 weeks it is advisable to replenish the dissolved oxygen content.
- Storage tanks and pipes should be made of stainless steel or aluminum. Although 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate does not corrode carbon steel, there is a risk of contamination if corrosion does occur.
- Regulations for the storage of flammable liquids must be observed (explosion-proof electrical equipment, vented tanks with flame arresters etc.). Storage tanks, pumps and pipes must be earthed.
