Methacrylate Monomers

Methacrylate Monomers are the building blocks of the acrylics market and finds application in Specialty Methacrylates or polymerized into PMMA/Polymer,sheet , resins and composites .

The major methacrylate monomer is MMA .

Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)

MMA is the building block . It polymerizes to form resins and polymers of excellent transparency , strength and outdoor durability and can be co-polymerised with other monomers to form a broad range of products typically used for paints , coatings and adhesives .

Major end uses : Paints & coatings , Inks & adhesives , automotive , lighting and appliances , solid surfaces Lubricants

Specialty Methacrylates

Specialty Methacryaltes (SpMAs) form separate category of monomer products manufactured by reacting MMA with various alcohols . The chemical modification enhances the performance properties of the monomers which are used in surface coatings , automotive finishes , lubricants , inks and adhesives .

Nitrex Chemicals offers technical advice and suggestions on handling , storage and usage of specialty methacrylates . Assistance on product formulation can also be provided .

Methacrylic Acid (MAA)

Is an important product which introduces properties such as adhesion , improved pigment wetting and cross linking ability .

Butyl Methcrylates (BMA)

We offer both Isobutyl Methacrylate (Ibma) and N-Butyl Methacrylate (Nbma) from Lucite International .
