Product Description:

Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (HEMA) is a hydroxy-functional methacrylate monomer widely used in coatings, adhesives, contact lenses, and specialty polymers. Its reactive hydroxyl group enables crosslinking with isocyanates, melamine resins, and other functional monomers, improving adhesion, chemical resistance, and mechanical performance. HEMA’s hydrophilic nature also makes it an essential raw material in biomedical and water-absorbent applications.
