How are regulations and standards prescribed for hydroxyethyl acrylate?

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA) Regulations and Standards
Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA) is listed as a Class 8 corrosive substance in China's Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals with a UN number of 2929. The occupational exposure limit refers to the provisions of GBZ 2.1-2019, and the time-weighted average permissible concentration (PC-TWA) is 5 mg/m³. The EU REACH regulation requires enterprises to submit the toxicological data declaration of this substance and prohibits its use as a cosmetic raw material. The US OSHA standard stipulates that emergency shower devices must be installed in the work area, and the distance from the operating point should not exceed a 10-second walk.Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA).

The structure of hydroxyethyl acrylate HEA determines that it has a certain polarity. Due to the difference in electronegativity of different atoms in the molecule, the charge distribution is uneven. This polarity allows it to be well miscible with some polar solvents, such as ethanol and water.
