Methacrylic Acid (MAA) is a functional monomer, an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid. Methacrylic Acid (MAA) reacts as a vinyl compound and as a carboxylic acid. Methacrylic Acid (MAA) easily undergoes polymerization and addition reactions. The copolymers of Methacrylic Acid (MAA) can be prepared with acrylic and methacrylic esters, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, ethylene, and other monomers.

Features & Benefits:

– Adhesive ability
– Hydrophilic
– Water solubility
– Required rheological properties
