General description

2-Ethylhexyl acrylates are classified under the ester group of compounds.
This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food.

Find all available reference materials for compounds listed in 10/2011 here

Application

2-Ethylhexyl acrylate has been used as a reference standard for the analysis of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate in glossy water-based lacquer by thermal desorption and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
It may be used as a reference standard for the determination of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate in:
  • Exhaled breath samples from cigarette smokers by capillary micro-extracton (CMV) coupled with GC-MS.
  • Food paper contact papers by modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEchERS) extraction procedure combined with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS).
  • Polymer emulsions by headspace (HS) GC-MS operating on selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode.
  • Adhesives employed in food contact materials by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF/MS).

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
