Chemical properties:
It is a colorless and transparent liquid at room temperature. It is easily soluble in hot water, ethanol and most organic solvents.
Uses:
1. Used to make coatings, insulating materials, adhesives and ion exchange resins
2. Important organic chemical raw materials and polymer intermediates. Its most important derivative product, methyl methacrylate, produces organic glass that can be used for windows in aircraft and civil buildings, and can also be processed into buttons, sun filters and car light lenses, etc.; the produced coatings have excellent suspension, rheological and durability properties; the produced adhesives can be used for bonding metals, leather, plastics and building materials; methacrylate polymer emulsions are used as fabric finishing agents and antistatic agents. In addition, methacrylic acid can also be used as a raw material for synthetic rubber.
3. Used as an organic reagent to make resins and plastics, high molecular polymers, and esters.
