Methacrylic Acid (MAA) is a colorless, corrosive liquid with a pungent odor. It is a key monomer used in the production of polymers and copolymers, particularly in acrylic resins, adhesives, coatings, and specialty plastics. MAA is highly reactive due to its vinyl group and carboxylic acid functionality, making it a versatile intermediate in industrial applications.
Applications
Acrylic Resins & Plastics - Used in PMMA (plexiglass), coatings, and impact modifiers.
Adhesives & Sealants - Enhances bonding strength and durability.Textile & Leather Finishing - Improves water resistance and flexibility.
Dental & Medical Materials - Key component in dental composites and bone cements.
Chemical Intermediates - Production of esters (e.g., methyl methacrylate, MMA).
