Description

Maleic acid monomethyl ester is an unsaturated monomer that belongs to the group of glycol ethers. It is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of 160°C and a melting point of -37°C. Maleic acid monomethyl ester is used in the production of polyvinyl alcohol, which has high resistance to water vapor. In addition, it can be used as a solvent for tiglic acid, copolymerization with other monomers such as citric acid and maleate or ethylene, or as an anhydride in the production of glycol ethers.
