I intend to use Tetra deacyl acrylate with methacrylate for adhesion with human skin operated by human's body temperature. Therefore, Please suggest an alternative of this acrylate. Thank you.
If you are looking for an alternative to Tetra deacyl acrylate for adhesion with human skin at body temperature, one possible alternative is 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA).
2-Ethylhexyl acrylate is a commonly used acrylate monomer known for its good adhesion properties and compatibility with human skin. It has a low glass transition temperature, which means it remains flexible at body temperature, allowing for better adhesion. 2-EHA is widely used in medical adhesives and skin contact applications due to its biocompatibility and skin-friendly nature.
It is important to note that before using any specific chemical or material, it is recommended to consult with experts or conduct appropriate research to ensure it meets your specific requirements and is safe for the intended application.

Dear Shahbaz Khan, based on Literature, due to working temperature of Tetra decyle acrylate (Tm = 14 degress celsius), it help to reduce working temperature of stearyl acrylate (tm= 47-50 Degrees), to body temperature.
what do u suggest if 2-EHA (tm= -90 degrees Celsius) is used instead of TA , can it reduce the temperature of SA to body temperature or much lower?
2-Ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) is a higher alkyl acrylate comonomer that imparts a glass transition temperature that is well below room temperature (homopolymer Tg is – 65 °C), flexibility and elasticity, and a hydrophobic nature. It can react violently when combined with strong oxidants and can form explosive mixtures with air at temperatures above 82 °C (180 °F).
I’m not sure if 2-EHA can reduce the temperature of stearyl acrylate to body temperature or much lower.
