HEMA is the organic compound with the chemical formula H2CdC(CH3)CO2CH2CH2OH.
HEMA is a colorless viscous liquid that readily polymerizes.
HEMA is a monomer that is used to make various polymers.

2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate is an ester of Methacrylic acid and is used as a raw material component in the synthesis of polymers.
2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate forms a homopolymer and copolymers.
Copolymers of 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate can be prepared with (meth)acrylic acid and its salts, amides, and esters, as well as (meth)acrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, and other monomers.
2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate, easily entering into the reaction of accession with a wide range of organic and inorganic substances, is used for the synthesis of organic low molecular weight substances.
HEMA is the monomer that is used to make the polymer polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate.
HEMA is hydrophobic; however, when the polymer is subjected to water it will swell due to the molecule’s hydrophilic pendant group.
Depending on the physical and chemical structure of the polymer, it is capable of absorbing from 10 to 600% water relative to the dry weight.
Because of this property, iHEMA was one of the first materials to be successfully used in the manufacture of flexible contact lenses.

2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate is a neutral hydrophilic monomer useful in UV curing polymer systems & durable high gloss coatings.
Other industrial applications include nails, dental, hydrogels (such as contact lens), UV inks & adhesives. HEMA provides scratch, solvent & weather resistance, control of hydrophobicity &/or can introduce reactive sites.
A series of HEMA, copolymers were synthesized by an emulsion polymerization technique. Copolymer compositions were determined by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy.
HEMA was found that comonomer ratios used in the recipes were comparable within the actual copolymers.
Glass transition temperatures (Tg) of PMMA-co-PHEMA copolymers were varied from 119 degrees C to 100 degrees C by increasing HEMA content.
Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the copolymers were stable up to 330 degrees C.
High intrinsic viscosity values of copolymer resulted in ductile solution-cast films.
The hydrophilicity of the films was analyzed by water uptake measurements.

Applications of HEMA
Contact lenses
In 1960, O. Wichterl described its use in synthesis of hydrophilic crosslinked networks, and these results had great importance for manufacture of soft contact lenses.
HEMA is hydrophilic: HEMA is capable of absorbing from 10 to 600% water relative to the dry weight.
Because of this property, HEMA was one of the first materials to be used in the manufacture of soft contact lenses.

Use of HEMA in 3D printing
HEMA lends itself well to applications in 3D printing as HEMA cures quickly at room temperature when exposed to UV light in the presence of photoinitiators.
HEMA may be used as a monomeric matrix in which 40nm silica particles are suspended for 3D glass printing.
When combined with a suitable blowing agent such as BOC anhydride HEMA forms a foaming resin which expands when heated.

Other uses
In electron microscopy, later in light microscopy, hydroxyethylmethacrylate serves as an embedding medium.
When treated with polyisocyanates, HEMA makes a crosslinked polymer, an acrylic resin, that is a useful component in some paints.

APPLICATIONS of HEMA
HEMA is often used to increase the hydrophobicity or surface adhesion of polymers and polymer-based materials such as specialty coatings, resins, adhesives, printing inks, and acrylic plastics.
As a co-monomer with other acrylic ester monomers, HEMA can be used to control hydrophobicity or introduce reactive sites.
In biomedical applications, the monomer is the basis for many hydrogel products such as soft contact lenses, polymer binders for controlled drug release, absorbents for body fluids, and for lubricious coatings. The 2-HEMA polymer is used in certain contact lenses where it has the additional advantage of being rigid and easy to shape with grinding tools when it is dry and then becomes flexible when HEMA absorbs water.

Features & Benefits OF HEMA:
Chemical resistance

Synthesis of HEMA
HEMA was first synthesized around 1925.
Common methods of synthesis are:
reaction of methacrylic acid with ethylene oxide;
esterification of methacrylic acid with a large excess of ethylene glycol.
Both these methods give also some amount of ethylene dimethacrylate.
During polymerization of hydroxyethylmethacrylate, HEMA works as crosslinking agent.

What is 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate?
2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is a commercially important and widely used monomer.
HEMA is commonly prepared in a one-step reaction from methyl methacrylate or methacrylic acid. Specifically, HEMA can be synthesized by the following two methods: i. the first method involved the transesterification of ethylene glycol1; ii. the second is the reaction between ethylene oxide and methacrylic acid.
Several procedures were developed in order to remove the impurities in the production of HEMA, such as soaking, extraction and ion-exchange.

Properties of HEMA
Hydroxyethylmethacrylate is completely miscible with water and ethanol, but its polymer is practically insoluble in common solvents.
HEMA's viscosity is 0.0701 Pa⋅s at 20°C and 0.005 Pa⋅s at 30°C.
During polymerization, it shrinks by approximately 6%

Storage & Handling of HEMA
To prevent polymerization, 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate should always be stored in air, and never under inert gases.
For the stabilizer to work effectively, oxygen is required.
HEMA must contain a stabilizer. Storage temperature should not exceed 35 °C.
Under these conditions, the storage stability of one year can be expected. To minimize the likelihood of congestion, the storage procedure should strictly follow the principle of “first come, first come”.
For a long shelf life of more than 4 weeks, it is advisable to replenish the oxygen content.
Over time, the content of ethylene glycol diacrylate slowly increases.
If HEMA is relevant to your process, 2-HEMA should be used within 12 months of receipt. The preferred material for tanks and pipes is stainless steel.
Carbon steel is also used, although rust formation may occur, which will lead to a problem with product quality (color).
Iron (III) -ion has been shown to be a weak initiator of polymerization.
If carbon steel is to be used, special treatment should be used to prepare the tank for use.
Storage tanks, pumps, and pipes must be earthed.

Safety of HEMA
2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate is a combustible substance.
At the temperatures above 97 °C, HEMA can form explosive mixtures of vapor with air.
HEMA is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
If this fluid is swallowed, aspiration into the lungs can lead to chemical pneumonitis. The flash-point is 97 °C.
When working with 2-HEMA, sanitary rules for organizing technological processes and hygienic requirements for production equipment must be strictly observed.
All types of work with 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate should be carried out in rooms equipped with general supply and exhaust ventilation.
HEMA is not allowed to carry out work in these rooms using an open fire.
Those working with 2-HEMA must be provided with special clothing and personal protective equipment.
In case of fire, it is necessary to use fire extinguishers OP-5, OVP-100 koshma, sand, asbestos cloth.
Spread on solid soil 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate should be covered with sand.

Description of HEMA
Poly(2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) is biocompatible hydrophilic methacrylate polymer.
In the dry state the material is hard and glassy, but in polar media the pendant hydroxyethyl group is able to extent outward and the material becomes soft and flexible.
HEMA is soluble in common organic polar solvents such as lower alcohols, however the polymer will not dissolve in water without a co-solvent, but instead it will absorb water and swell.
Due to its good biocompatibility pHEMA has been extensively researched for biomedical applications such as hydrogel systems for drug delivery or scaffolds for tissue engineering.
The most prominent example of a biomedical device based on pHEMA may be the very first modern soft contact lenses developed by Otto Wichterle around 1960.
To this day, the monomeric unit (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) is still a key component of many soft contact lens systems.
HEMA may also find usage in coating applications to change the surface properties of a substrate. For example, pHEMA is commonly used to coat culture vessels in order to prevent cell adhesion or favor the formation of spheroidal cells.

PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS of HEMA
Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is an important vinyl monomer that can be easily polymerized.
The pendant hydroxyl groups make the polymer fully water soluble, whereas lightly crosslinked HEMA forms hydrogels which absorb noticeable amounts of water.
HEMA is frequently copolymerized with other monomers to modify its properties.
Due to its low toxicity and hydrophilic character, it has found numerous applications in biomedicine, including contact lenses, drug delivery systems, and dental adhesives.
Another important application of HEMA are isocyanate-free vinyl ester urethane compositions for adhesives, sealants and coatings.
The use of HEMA as a capping agent reduces the toxicity of the prepolymers and increases the low shear viscosity efficiency.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL of HEMA

UN Classification

HEMA, in full poly-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, a soft, flexible, water-absorbing plastic used to make soft contact lenses.
HEMA is a polymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), a clear liquid compound obtained by reacting methacrylic acid (CH2=C[CH3]CO2H) with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide.
HEMA can be shaped into a contact lens by being cast into a small, concave, spinning mold.
Under the influence of heat or light and free-radical initiators, the HEMA polymerizes, its molecules linking together to form long, multiple-unit chains.
The HEMA repeating units of the polymer have the following chemical structure: polyhema, polymer, chemical compound

In most cases the polyHEMA chains are cross-linked into a complex three-dimensional network by another compound with which they are copolymerized.
The cured plastic lens is hard but can absorb up to 60 percent of its weight in water, forming a soft hydrogel that has optical properties approaching those of hard contact lenses yet is less irritating to the cornea of the eye.
