New Product Recommendation: BM1210 2-Phenoxyethyl Acrylate (PHEA)

Overview

2-Phenoxyethyl acrylate (PHEA) is a monofunctional aromatic monomer characterized by low viscosity, excellent dilutability, high refractive index, good adhesion, high reactivity, and low shrinkage. It finds wide applications in fields such as UV coatings, inks, adhesives, and photoresists.

Structural formula

Synthesis reaction equation

Basic data

Formula 1: B-100 60g / PHEA 40g

Formula 2: B-100 60g / PHEA 40g / 1173 4g

Coating Process: After thoroughly mixing and homogenizing all components of Formula 2, apply the coating using a 6-μm wire bar. The substrate is a white PC board.

Summary: Compared with commercially available foreign products, our product exhibits close similarity in viscosity, acid value, refractive index, dilution capability, and curing speed, meeting all product requirements. Moreover, the Bossin PHEA boasts superior color and better resistance to UV-induced yellowing.

Use Case Recommendations

(1) Coatings/Inks Field

PHEA contains a benzene ring structure that enhances intermolecular interactions with polar substrates (such as metals and glass). It can be used in UV coatings for substrates including plastics (e.g., ABS, PC, PET), metals, and glass. Additionally, PHEA boasts a high refractive index, which boosts the glossiness of the coating and makes it ideal for decorative coatings. PHEA also features low viscosity, excellent dilution capability, and rapid curing speed. It is particularly recommended for use in flexographic, gravure, screen-printing inks, and UV inkjet applications, where it can optimize ink flowability while improving print clarity.

(2) Adhesive

The molecular structure of PHEA features a benzene ring that accounts for 40% of the composition, providing rigidity and excellent adhesion. Meanwhile, the ether bonds contribute flexibility, striking the perfect balance between hardness and flexibility. This balance helps prevent coating brittleness and enhances impact resistance during use. Therefore, PHEA is well-suited for UV-curable adhesives, particularly in applications such as encapsulation of electronic components and bonding of optical materials, where it effectively balances flexibility with adhesive strength.

(3) Photoresist/Optical Film

PHEA can serve as a highly active monomer in the photoresist field and boasts a high refractive index. Thanks to its balanced rigid-flexible structure—featuring both benzene rings and ether linkages—it not only meets the demands of manufacturing high-density printed circuit boards but also reduces the risk of line breakage during handling or processing. Moreover, its high reactivity and low shrinkage ensure precise pattern transfer and enhance resolution. It is suitable for applications in optical films and photoresists.
