Price: Rs 145 per Kg + GST as applicable
Methacrylic Acid (MAA)
Chemical Name: Methacrylic Acid
Formula: C4H6O2 | CAS No.: 79-41-4
Description
Methacrylic Acid (MAA) is a colorless, corrosive, and highly reactive organic acid used as a key monomer in the production of polymers and resins. Known for its excellent reactivity and adhesion-enhancing properties, MAA is widely used in coatings, adhesives, plastics, and specialty chemical formulations. It provides strong resistance to weathering, water, and chemical degradation, making it valuable in high-performance applications.
Applications
- Polymer & copolymer production
- Acrylic resins and coatings
- Adhesives and sealants
- Superabsorbent polymers
- Ion-exchange resins
- Plastic modifiers and dispersants
- Textile and leather finishing chemicals
