Methyl methacrylate
Methyl methacrylate is an unsaturated ester, the English abbreviation for Methyl methacrylate is MMA, it is a colorless transparent liquid at room temperature , volatile, explosive, easy to burn, and the volatile gas has an irritating odor. Soluble in alcohols, ethers, ketones and chlorinated hydrocarbons, slightly soluble in aliphatic ethers, alcohols, slightly soluble in water, and with water and methanol can form an azeotrope.
The production process technology and equipment of this product are introduced from the Italian tecnica company. The product is equivalent to the Japanese JISK6716-89 industrial standard, and the project has higher superior quality manufacture rate.
Application range
Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) is mainly used in the polymerization and copolymerization fields. For each application, a special polymerization process is required. The initiators are free-form (organic peroxides, azocompounds) or ionic ones.
Plexiglass can be made by bulk polymerization for artificial decorative materials and construction industry parts, optical information materials and electrical components packaging and so on.
Can obtain coatings, paints, adhesives, waterproofing agent, lubricants viscosity adjusting additives and so on through emulsion polymerization .
It can replace styrene as crosslinking agent, dilute unsaturated polyester resin and make natural and synthetic rubber modifier.
Methyl methacrylate is mostly used in the plexiglass industry, but it is also used in many other fields. Currently in the medical functional polymer (polymer materials and polymer drugs), textiles (acrylic second monomer) as a functional monomer, and also have a wide range of applications in coatings, paints, PVC processing aids and adhesives and other fields
Colorless Transparent Liquid
Methyl methacrylate is a colorless liquid, which is a monomer for the production of transparent plastic polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Polymethacrylate is an important optical transparent plastic, which has the advantages of high transparency, good impact resistance, light weight, low price, environmental protection and non-toxic. It is widely used as a substitute for glass. PMMM is characterized by excellent optical properties, which is also the origin of its common name "plexiglass", mainly because it is an amorphous polymer with uniform texture, The arrangement of internal molecules will not affect the speed of light passing through each part. The pipeline can move forward at the same speed, and will not be scattered around and interfere with each other.
