General Description

6-Hydroxyhexyl acrylate is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H16O3. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor and is commonly used in the production of various polymers and resins. It is primarily used as a reactive diluent in the formulation of UV-curable adhesives, coatings, and inks. 6-Hydroxyhexyl acrylate is also used as a building block in the production of other specialty chemicals and has been shown to exhibit low volatility, low skin irritation, and minimal toxicity in animal studies. Due to its properties, it is considered to be a versatile and valuable component in the chemical industry.

PROCESS FOR PREPARING 4-HYDROXYBUTYL ACRYLATE

A process for preparing 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate by transesterifying an alkyl acrylate with 1,4-butanediol in the presence of a dialkyltin oxide such that each of the alkyl groups has 4 to 8 carbon atoms, characterized in that the amount of the dialkyltin oxide is adjusted to 0.00001 to 0.01 moles per one mole of the alkyl acrylate.

Acrylic-based adhesive composition

An Adhesive composition for us in surgery, especially ophthalmic surgery, comprises a mixture of a cyanoacrylate of general formula (I) and an acrylate compound of formula (II) where R4 is an alkylene group and Y is a cycloalkyl group or Y═OR where R═H or acryloyl. It is found that compositions of this type have a number of advantages over simple cyanoacrylate adhesives, including: (a) a longer cure time, allowing easier handling of the joint; (b) a more flexible cured product; (c) a tendency for the cured to come away from the tissue after a month or so thus facilitating healing; and (d) a substantially non-exothermic curing reaction, thereby avoiding thermal damage to the tissue.
