2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate CAS 818-61-1 chemical structure

Description

2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (CAS 818-61-1), molecular formula C5H8O3 and molecular weight 116.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (C5H8O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
