Esschem MMA - Styrene Bead Copolymers are a versatile range of copolymers combining methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene. These bead copolymers offer a wide array of properties and applications. With increased MMA content, the resulting materials exhibit remarkable strength and transparency. Conversely, a higher proportion of styrene enhances hydrophobicity, hardness, and impact resistance. The molecular weight plays a crucial role in determining the characteristics of the copolymers. Higher molecular weights, often associated with increased styrene content, yield stronger and more heat-resistant materials. Esschem's ability to manipulate the molecular weight distribution allows for customized properties such as durability, elasticity, and processing ease. Additionally, the particle size of the copolymers influences surface properties and rigidity.
