Iso-Butyl Methacrylate (IBMA)

Iso-Butyl Methacrylate (IBMA) is a clear, colorless methacrylate ester used primarily as a monomer and co-monomer in the production of specialty acrylic polymers. IBMA provides excellent flexibility, weather resistance, chemical stability, and adhesion to coatings, adhesives, inks, and plastics. It is known for improving impact strength and flow properties in formulations.
