Reactive diluent in radiation‑curing systems to speed up coating and adhesive curing.
Crosslinking agent to enhance resin network density and mechanical properties.
Modifier for plastics and rubber to improve flexibility and durability.

Pharmaceuticals & Biomaterials:
Medical adhesives, dental materials, and photosensitive imaging materials.
Drug carriers in sustained‑release systems to improve stability and bioavailability.

Textile Industry:
Fabric treatment agent for enhanced wear resistance and water repellency.

Other Applications:
Lubricant additive for cleaning and decontamination.
Chemical reagent as crosslinker and reactive diluent in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry.

Packaging: Liquid HPMA: 200 kg drums (plastic or iron). Small packs: 500 g and 1 kg bottles for laboratory and research use.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture uptake and evaporation. Keep away from ignition sources and strong oxidizers. Shelf life: 6 months below 30°C. Inspect packaging periodically for integrity.

Transportation: Inspect packaging before transport and replace damaged containers. Use dedicated, well‑sealed vehicles. Maintain smooth transport to avoid shocks and vibration. Personnel should wear anti‑toxic masks, chemical safety goggles, corrosion‑resistant clothing, and rubber gloves.

Summary: 2-Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate (HPMA) is a versatile organic compound used in coatings, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and industrial applications. It offers excellent solubility and stability. Due to its hygroscopic and sensitive nature, proper sealing, moisture protection, and cool storage are essential to maintain quality and ensure safe handling and transport.
