Rotterdam Chemicals Group supplies high-quality Methyl Acrylate (MA), a reactive monomer used in polymer production for adhesives, coatings, sealants and textiles. Our MA is REACH compliant and available in industrial grade. We offer flexible delivery from our Rotterdam hub in drums, IBCs and ISO tanks with full documentation and stabilization support.
What is Methyl Acrylate (MA)?
Methyl Acrylate (CAS 96-33-3) is a clear, flammable liquid with a sharp odor. It is an acrylate ester primarily used as a building block in emulsion and solution polymers. MA imparts hardness, adhesion and weather resistance to copolymers for industrial and architectural applications.
Applications Across Industries
