Application
N-Hydroxyethyl acrylamide (HEAA, CAS 7646-67-5) is a dual-functional monomer containing a polymerizable acrylamide double bond and a primary hydroxyl group for post-polymerization crosslinking or functionalization. It is widely used in UV-curable coatings, waterborne emulsions, adhesives, and textile finishes to improve adhesion, flexibility, and water resistance. As a formaldehyde-free self-crosslinking agent, HEAA replaces N-methylolacrylamide (NMA) in eco-friendly formulations for paints, printing pastes, and leather treatments. In biomedical applications, HEAA is a key component for hydrogels, contact lenses, and drug delivery systems due to its excellent biocompatibility and hydrophilicity. It also serves as a flocculant for water treatment and a modifier for paper and fiber. Xinchem offers custom synthesis, custom chemical synthesis, and contract manufacturing of high-purity HEAA with flexible scaling from R&D to commercial tons.
