2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate is an ester of Methacrylic acid used as a raw material component in synthesizing polymers. It is a monofunctional monomer consisting of a methacrylate group with a characteristic high reactivity and a cyclic hydrophobic group and could form homopolymers and copolymers. 2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate could be used as a monomer for polymers in latex paints, lacquers, polishes, coating resins for food contact, and viscosity index improvers.
