Description
Application
It is widely used in the production of acrylic resins plastics adhesives and coatings. It also serves as a key monomer in the manufacture of polymers and copolymers.
Purpose
The purpose of methacrylic acid is to act as a building block in polymer synthesis. The MEHQ stabilizer ensures safe handling and storage by inhibiting premature polymer formation.
General Description
Methacrylic acid is a colorless corrosive liquid with the formula CHO and a sharp acrid odor. It is stabilized with MEHQ (monomethyl ether of hydroquinone) to prevent unwanted polymerization during storage.
