Primary Use
Production of acrylic plastics and polymers
Methyl methacrylate is a clear, colorless liquid monomer used primarily in the production of acrylic plastics and polymers. It is slightly soluble in water, has vapors heavier than air that irritate the eyes and respiratory system, and requires stabilization to prevent exothermic polymerization.
Production of acrylic plastics and polymersUse in paints, pigments, binders, and biocidesUse in glues and adhesives
