Wholesale Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) – High Purity Monomer

Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) is a versatile organic compound with the chemical formula C5H8O2, commonly used as a building block for polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and various copolymers. It is a colorless, highly flammable liquid with a sharp, fruity odor and excellent polymerization properties.

MMA is integral to the manufacture of lightweight, shatter-resistant acrylic glass, adhesives, automotive coatings, and transparent barriers. Thanks to its outstanding UV resistance and clarity, it is widely used in outdoor applications like skylights, signage, and safety glazing.

在 卡文资源, we supply bulk MMA with industry-standard purity ≥99.9%, ensuring reliable performance for both polymerization 和 coating-grade applications.

⚙️ Production Method

Acetone Cyanohydrin Process

1. Acetone reacts with hydrogen cyanide to form acetone cyanohydrin.

2. It is then converted into MMA through esterification and hydrolysis.

Alternative bio-based methods are also emerging for sustainable MMA production.
