China and Germany are the leading exporters of 2-Hydroxypropyl methacrylate (CAS 27813-02-1), accounting for a substantial share of global supply, while the United States, South Korea, and Japan represent the largest importers. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable over the past three years, with modest growth in Asian demand coinciding with steady 2-Hydroxypropyl methacrylate prices.
2-Hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) is a colorless to pale yellow, low-viscosity liquid with a mild ester-like odor and moderate volatility. It is an unsaturated aliphatic methacrylate ester bearing a secondary hydroxyl group, classified as a reactive functional monomer and chemical intermediate. HPMA is primarily used in the synthesis of hydrophilic, crosslinkable acrylic polymers and copolymers—especially those requiring enhanced adhesion, flexibility, or biocompatibility. Its main applications are in high-performance coatings, UV-curable inks and adhesives, dental resins, and biomedical materials such as hydrogels and drug delivery systems.
Monomer for acrylic resins, nonwoven fabric binders, detergent lubricating-oil additives.
Clear colorless liquid
