2-Ethoxyethyl acrylate (2-EEA) is a transparent and volatile liquid with a pleasant sweet scent. It is an acrylate ester obtained by combining ethylene glycol and acrylic acid. This compound serves various purposes, acting as an intermediate substance in polymer manufacturing, a solvent in the field of paints and coatings, and a precursor to create other chemicals. When exposed to heat, 2-Ethoxyethyl acrylate undergoes a catalyzed thermal decomposition reaction. This reaction results in the breakdown of the compound into multiple smaller molecules, including ethylene glycol, acrylic acid, and 2-methoxyethyl acrylate. This decomposition process holds significance as it constitutes a vital stage in the production of polymers and various other compounds.
