Butyl methacrylate

Description:
Butyl methacrylate (BMA) is an organic compound classified as an ester, specifically the butyl ester of methacrylic acid. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fruity odor. BMA is known for its excellent adhesion properties, flexibility, and resistance to UV light, making it a valuable component in various applications, including coatings, adhesives, and sealants. The substance has a moderate volatility and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but is insoluble in water. Its chemical structure features a methacrylate group, which contributes to its polymerization capabilities, allowing it to form durable polymers when subjected to heat or initiators. BMA is also recognized for its low toxicity, although appropriate safety measures should be taken during handling due to potential skin and respiratory irritation. Overall, butyl methacrylate is an important monomer in the production of acrylic polymers and copolymers, widely utilized in the manufacturing of paints, plastics, and other materials.
