2-Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate (HPMA) is a hydroxyl-functional monomer similar to HEMA but often preferred for its lower toxicity and ability to impart greater flexibility and improved water solubility to resulting polymers. These properties make it highly valuable in the formulation of water-based acrylic resins for latex paints, textile finishes, adhesives, and as a co-monomer to enhance the flexibility and toughness of various plastic and coating materials.

HPMA is essential in producing high-performance acrylic resins and coatings. By copolymerizing with other acrylic monomers, it introduces reactive hydroxyl groups into the polymer chain, enabling the formulation of thermosetting coatings with enhanced durability, chemical resistance, and adhesion. These resins are commonly cross-linked with melamine-formaldehyde, isocyanates, or epoxy resins to create two-component coating systems for automotive, industrial, and architectural applications.
In adhesives, HPMA improves bonding strength and flexibility when copolymerized with vinyl or acrylic monomers. It is also used in synthesizing textile adhesives and fiber treatment agents, enhancing the water resistance, solvent resistance, wrinkle resistance, and durability of fabrics.
HPMA serves as an active diluent and cross-linking agent in radiation-curable formulations (e.g., UV or electron beam curing). Its low viscosity and fast reactivity help achieve efficient curing processes, making it suitable for coatings, inks, and 3D printing resins that require rapid drying and environmental compliance.
HPMA is utilized as an additive in detergent lubricants and industrial oils, where it helps reduce sludge formation, improve viscosity index, and enhance thermal stability. This application leverages its ability to modify oil properties and contribute to cleaner engine and machinery operation.
As a polymer modifier, HPMA enhances the properties of plastics, rubbers, and synthetic resins. When incorporated into copolymers, it improves toughness, weatherability, and processability, making it valuable in manufacturing engineering plastics, elastomers, and impact-resistant materials.
In paper manufacturing, HPMA is used in coating applications to improve water resistance, strength, and printability. It also functions as a fiber treatment agent in textiles, providing better durability and functional performance to finished products.
