What is Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)?
Methyl Methacrylate (CAS 80-62-6) is a clear, volatile liquid with a sharp, fruity odor. It is a key monomer used to manufacture PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), better known as acrylic glass or Plexiglas®. MMA imparts clarity, weatherability, and strength to polymers used in construction, automotive, signage, and coating applications.
