Description

Ethyl Methacrylate is a versatile and highly reactive monomer essential for creating polymers with excellent clarity, weather resistance, and durability. Its primary value lies in its ability to form copolymers that enhance the performance characteristics of acrylic resins and coatings. This product is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the paints & coatings, adhesives, plastics, and textile finishing industries seeking to improve product quality and functionality.

Application

• Acrylic Resin Production: A key monomer for manufacturing acrylic and methacrylic resins used in automotive and industrial coatings.
• Paints & Surface Coatings: Imparts excellent gloss, UV stability, and chemical resistance to solvent-based and waterborne coatings.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Used to formulate high-strength, flexible adhesives with good environmental resistance.
• Plastic Modifiers: Serves as a co-monomer to modify the impact strength, transparency, and processing of engineering plastics.
• Textile & Leather Finishes: Employed in binders and finishes to provide durable, water-repellent, and glossy surfaces.
• Dental & Medical Materials: Used in the synthesis of polymers for dental composites and bone cements.
• Optical Products: A component in the production of transparent plastics for lenses, light guides, and displays.

Quality Control

Our Ethyl Methacrylate is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for assay and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and physical properties are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids, peroxides, and amines. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). The product contains an inhibitor to prevent premature polymerization; monitor inhibitor levels during prolonged storage.
