Methyl Methacrylate
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) is the essential Monomer for the production of PMMA (acrylic glass) and various high-performance resins. Supplied in Technical Grade with 99.9% Purity, it is inhibited to ensure safe transport and storage.
This colorless, volatile liquid is valued for its ability to create polymers with exceptional Optical Clarity, weatherability, and scratch resistance. It acts as a hard monomer in copolymer systems, significantly increasing the mechanical strength of the final product.
In industrial applications, MMA is a key ingredient in the manufacture of surface coatings, acrylic sheets, and impact modifiers. Its Fast Curing properties make it a staple in advanced automotive paints and dental restorative materials.
APPLICATIONS
- PMMA Production: The primary precursor for transparent acrylic sheets, lighting fixtures, and high-clarity signage materials.
- Surface Coatings: Used in the formulation of high-gloss automotive finishes and durable industrial protective coatings.
- Dental & Medical: Component in bone cements and dental prosthetics due to its biocompatibility and high strength when polymerized.
SAFETY & RISKS
Classified as a Flammable Liquid and Skin Sensitizer. Proper handling requires Ventilation Systems and PPE such as Chemical Goggles, Resistant Overalls, and Respiratory Protection.
PACKAGING
Standard 190 kg Steel Drums or bulk ISO Tankers.
