Methyl Acrylate (MA)

CAS#: 96-33-3
Synonyms: Methyl propenoate, Acrylic acid methyl ester
Acronyms: MA

Methyl Acrylate (MA) is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, sharp odor. It is a highly reactive acrylate monomer used in the production of acrylic polymers and resins, providing hardness, chemical resistance, and adhesion. MA is commonly utilized in adhesives, surface coatings, and textile applications.

Key Features:

• High reactivity for rapid polymerization

• Contributes to hardness and chemical resistance in polymers

• Enhances adhesion and durability

• Compatible with copolymerization with other acrylate and methacrylate monomers

• Suitable for solventborne, waterborne, and emulsion systems

Applications:

• Acrylic resins and polymers

• Adhesives and sealants

• Industrial and decorative coatings

• Textile and fiber finishes

• Copolymers for specialty plastics and emulsions
