Product Name
Butyl Methacrylate (BMA)
Synonyms: BMA, n-Butyl Methacrylate, Butyl 2-methylpropenoate
Product Overview
Butyl Methacrylate is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic acrylic odor. It is a reactive monomer widely used in the production of polymers and copolymers. BMA offers excellent adhesion, hardness, and chemical resistance, making it a key component in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and acrylic plastics. Its moderate volatility and good compatibility with other monomers provide versatility in formulation.
