Product Description
Methacrylic acid (MAA) is an organic compound that appears as a colorless liquid with a strong pungent odor and is a member of the carboxylic acid family. It has a similar structure to the acrylic acid but has a methyl group attached to the alpha carbon. Methacrylic acid is produced from the oxidation of either isobutene or tert-butanol, which is carried out using selective catalysts under suitable conditions where there is a high conversion and selectivity to methacrylic acid reaching the desired specification; therefore, the method of manufacture is best referred to as the 'catalytic oxo process'.
Methacrylic acid is a key intermediate in the manufacture of many polymers and copolymers. It is especially crucial in the production of PMMA which is used as a glass alternative because it is transparent and takes long before it fades. The reasons to use methacrylic acid include its value in performance characteristics of material; for example, it develops the heat resistance, flexibility, and adhesion of polymer. These qualities have made it fit in industries like automotive, and electronics among other industries which use materials that need to be strong while withstanding harsh conditions.
