Introduction:
Butyl Methacrylate, also known as n-butyl methacrylate, or BMA for short, is an unsaturated ester. It is a colorless and transparent liquid at room temperature, soluble in ethanol and ether, insoluble in water, easy to polymerize, flammable and slightly toxic.
It is a large tonnage petrochemical product. Its main purpose is to make acrylic ester solvent and emulsion adhesive monomer. It is also used in the manufacture of acrylate polymers and copolymers; It is also used as emulsifier, finishing agent, additive and adhesive for a variety of industrial products.
This product is used as a monomer of polymer, for the production of modified plexiglass and transparent film, for the manufacture of finishing agent and polishing agent such as paper, fabric and leather, and for coating solvent.
