Methacrylic Acid (MAA), with CAS number 79-41-4, is a versatile organic compound that plays a pivotal role in a wide array of industrial applications. Its chemical structure, featuring both a double bond and a carboxylic acid group, grants it reactivity that is highly sought after in chemical synthesis. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we see firsthand how the demand for high-quality MAA fuels innovation across various sectors.

One of the most significant uses of MAA is in the production of polymers and copolymers. Its ability to copolymerize with monomers like acrylic and methacrylic esters, vinyl acetate, and styrene allows for the creation of materials with tailored properties. For instance, low levels of MAA incorporated into latexes can significantly improve stability, adhesive characteristics, wettability, and pigment dispersion. When used at higher concentrations, MAA-containing copolymers function effectively as thickening agents, rheology modifiers, paper coatings, and components in personal care products and oilfield chemicals. Understanding the benefits of methacrylic acid in copolymers is key for formulators seeking advanced material performance.

The influence of MAA extends to key industries such as paints, insulation materials, and adhesives. In paints and coatings, it contributes to desirable properties like good suspension and rheology. As a binder component, it is crucial for the adhesion of metal, leather, and plastics. Furthermore, MAA is a fundamental raw material for synthetic rubber and finds application as a fabric finishing agent and antistatic agent. The broad spectrum of methacrylic acid applications means it is integral to the production of countless everyday items and industrial solutions.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to supplying MAA that meets stringent quality standards, ensuring that our clients can leverage its full potential. Whether you are involved in the synthesis of advanced polymers, the formulation of high-performance coatings, or the development of specialized adhesives, reliable access to methacrylic acid is paramount.
