Methyl methacrylate（MMA)

English Name: Methyl methacrylate

CAS No.: 80-62-6

Molecular formula: C5H8O2

Molecular weight: 100.12

EINECS No.: 201-297-1

Chemical properties: Colorless liquid, volatile. Soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone and other organic solvents. Slightly soluble in ethylene glycol and water.

Uses: This product is mainly used as a monomer of polymethylmethacrylate (plexiglass) and copolymerized with other vinyl monomers to obtain products with different properties. It is also used in the manufacture of other resins, plastics, adhesives, coatings, lubricants, wood wetting agents, motor coil penetrating agents, ion exchange resins, paper polishing agents, textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries, leather treatment agents and insulating pouring materials.

Properties

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.
