2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:
2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl methacrylate (MMA), is an organic compound characterized by its colorless liquid form and distinctive acrid odor. It is an ester of methacrylic acid and is primarily used in the production of polymers and resins. MMA is known for its excellent clarity, UV resistance, and ability to form strong, durable materials, making it a key ingredient in acrylic glass, coatings, adhesives, and various plastic products. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is also flammable and can pose health risks upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating appropriate safety measures during handling. MMA undergoes polymerization readily, which is a crucial property utilized in industrial applications. Its chemical structure features a vinyl group, contributing to its reactivity and versatility in forming copolymers with other monomers. Overall, methyl methacrylate is a vital compound in the field of materials science and industrial chemistry.
