Molecular Weight:86.1 - 86.1 g/mol
Synonyms:2-methyl-2-propenoic acid, 2-Methylacrylic acid, 2-methylenepropionic acid, alpha-Methacrylic Acid, alpha-Methylacrylic Acid, α-Methacrylic Acid

MERACRYL™ GMAA is used as building block in applications like paints, dispersions or construction chemicals. It confers specific properties, such as improved freeze-thaw resistance, colloidal stability in emulsion, and enhanced film adhesion.

MERACRYL™ n-BMA

Chemical Name:Butyl Methacrylate
CAS Number:97-88-1
Chemical Family:Methacrylates
Molecular Weight:142.2 - 142.2 g/mol
Synonyms:Butyl 2-Methylpropenoate, N-Butyl Methacrylate

MERACRYL™ n-BMA is used to provide flexibility to polymers due to its softening temperatures of 20 °C.

MERACRYL™ i-BMA

Chemical Name:i-Butyl methacrylate
CAS Number:97-86-9
Chemical Family:Methacrylates
Molecular Weight:142.2 - 142.2 g/mol

MERACRYL™ i-BMA provides flexibility due to its softening temperatures of 50 °C.

MERACRYL™ HEMA 98

Chemical Name:Hydroxy Ethyl Methacrylate
CAS Number:868-77-9
Chemical Family:Methacrylates, Esters
Molecular Weight:130.1 - 130.1 g/mol
Synonyms:2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethanol, 2-HEMA, 2-Hydroxyethyl 2-methylprop-2-enoate, 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate, Ethylene glycol methacrylate, Ethylene glycol monomethacrylate, Glycol methacrylate, Glycol monomethacrylate, HEMA, NSC 24180, β-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate

Meracryl™ Hema 98 is a functional monomer that can copolymerize with other monomers to produce copolymers with a hydroxy group in the side chain. Hydroxyesters are recommended for heat or room temperature cured coatings with permanent marring and solvent resistance, high gloss retention and weatherability.

MERACRYL™ HPMA 98

Chemical Name:Hydroxy Propyl Methacrylate
CAS Number:27813-02-1
Chemical Family:Methacrylates, Esters
Molecular Weight:144.2 - 144.2 g/mol
Synonyms:1,2-Propylene glycol methacrylate, Hydroxypropyl methacrylate, Propylene glycol methacrylate, Propylene glycol monomethacrylate

Meracryl™ HPMA 98 is a functional monomer that can copolymerize with other monomers to produce copolymers with a hydroxy group in the side chain. Hydroxyesters are recommended for heat or room temperature cured coatings with permanent marring and solvent resistance, high gloss retention and weatherability.

MERACRYL™ MAAMIDE

Molecular Weight:85.1 - 85.1 g/mol

MERACRYL™ MAAmide can be used as a polar co-monomer with a high Tg for improving solvent resistance and cohesion. For specific applications, methacrylamide can be grafted onto natural fibers (e.g. silk weighting).
