Butyl Methacrylate

Butyl Methacrylate (BMA), with the chemical formula C₈H₁₄O₂, is an important methacrylate ester monomer. It appears as a colorless transparent liquid with a characteristic ester-like odor. It is highly reactive and can form various polymers through homopolymerization or copolymerization. This product is a key raw material for producing acrylic resins, plastics, coatings, and its polymers exhibit excellent weather resistance and flexibility, widely used in chemical, coating, textile and other industries.
