Ethyl methacrylate

Description:
Ethyl methacrylate (EMA) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H10O2, classified as an ester. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic fruity odor. EMA is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. The substance is primarily used in the production of polymers and copolymers, serving as a key monomer in the manufacture of acrylic resins, coatings, adhesives, and plastics. Ethyl methacrylate exhibits a low viscosity and a relatively low boiling point, making it suitable for various applications in the chemical industry. It is known for its ability to polymerize easily, especially in the presence of heat or initiators, leading to the formation of durable and transparent materials. However, EMA is also recognized for its potential health hazards; it can cause skin and eye irritation and may be harmful if inhaled or ingested. Proper safety measures should be taken when handling this substance to mitigate risks associated with exposure.
