Description
Methyl Methacrylate, also known as MMA, Methacrylic acid methyl ester, or Methyl 2-methylprop-2-enoate is an organic compound with the formula C4H80. It's clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic odor. MMA is slightly soluble in water and miscible with most organic solvents. MMA is a highly efficient and versatile solvent for thinners, cleaning agents, coatings, adhesives, plastics, construction, reactive resins, and textile treatment. Inhibited with 40-50 ppm Methyl Ethyl Hydroquinone (MEHQ) to prevent polymerization.
