Esschem EMA Bead Copolymers

Esschem EMA Bead Copolymers are a range of bead polymers synthesized from ethyl methacrylate (EMA) that offers the strength of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) with slightly different properties.The copolymers exhibit a slightly lower glass transition temperature, resulting in a softer and more flexible final product compared to PMMA.By controlling the molecular weight, Esschem can customize the heat resistance and strength of the polymer, making it suitable for various applications across multiple industries.The smaller particle size of the beads enhances surface properties like adhesion, while larger particles contribute to a more robust and rigid material.
