Methyl Methacrylate: A Pivotal Chemical for Modern Industries

Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) is a colorless, volatile liquid with the chemical formula C₅H₈O₂, commonly used in the production of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and other copolymers. PMMA, widely recognized by trade names like acrylic glass or Plexiglas, is a lightweight, shatter-resistant alternative to glass with high optical clarity. Due to these properties, MMA finds applications in automotive parts, construction materials, signs and displays, medical devices, and paints and coatings.

As industries across the globe seek lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant alternatives to traditional materials, MMA’s versatility has positioned it as a cornerstone compound across multiple sectors, driving robust global demand.
