Hazards of Hydroxyethyl Acrylate HEA
Hydroxyethyl acrylate HEA is a colorless and transparent liquid with a slight pungent odor, commonly used in industrial production such as coatings, adhesives, and resin synthesis. When coming into contact with this substance, high vigilance is required, as its hazards involve multiple aspects including human health and environmental safety.
Health Hazards
Direct contact with hydroxyethyl acrylate HEA can cause skin redness, swelling, and burning pain. Long-term exposure may trigger allergic dermatitis. If the liquid splashes into the eyes, it can cause corneal damage, accompanied by symptoms such as tearing and blurred vision. Inhaling its vapor can irritate the respiratory tract, leading to cough and chest tightness. Inhalation of high concentrations may damage lung tissue. Animal experiments show that long-term contact may affect liver and kidney functions and there is a potential carcinogenic risk. Pregnant women need to be particularly careful, as animal studies indicate that this substance may interfere with embryonic development.
