Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA)

CAS#: 106-91-2
Synonyms: Methacrylic acid glycidyl ester

Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) is a highly functional methacrylate monomer containing a reactive epoxy group, enabling strong chemical bonding, crosslinking, and adhesion to a wide range of substrates. Its dual functionality makes it an essential component in performance-driven polymer systems requiring enhanced durability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength.

Key Features:

• Epoxy functionality provides excellent adhesion to metals, plastics, and glass

• Enhances chemical resistance and solvent durability

• Improves hardness, abrasion resistance, and mechanical strength

• Enables crosslinking in acrylic and polyester systems

• Promotes strong interfacial bonding in composite and multilayer structures

• Low color and good thermal stability

Applications:

• High-performance industrial and architectural coatings

• Structural and pressure-sensitive adhesives

• Sealants requiring chemical and moisture resistance

• Specialty resins and reactive modifiers

• Powder coatings and radiation-curable systems
